Bandages, broken bones, and 'Almost' dead people

well this was kinda overdue, but here goes.


a few days ago, Camp5 had a first-aid training course for their staff. there were the usually seen people from camp5 and also the non so usually seen people from Blocx.

*Blocx is the company that makes the walls for Camp5. even though they are different companies, they are owned by the same big boss people.

the day started with us gathering at the climbing gym at 9. even though most of us were there at 9, the day was a really sleepy day because:

1. it was raining.
2. it was kinda early in the morning.
3. we all didn't really have enough sleep.
4. the doctor guy was kinda boring.

yes, it was a day filled with us having to sit our asses down in the cafe and listen to the doctor while trying not to fall asleep.

hmmm... let me see if i can still recall what we learned that day.

what i learned from the first aid course:

1. what is the definition of first-aid
2. 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns
   
3. different types of fractures
4. how to make an arm sling
5. how to make a head bandage
6. how to save someone who is choking
7. CPR
8. recovery position
   

well i don't think i can remember anything else... but i bet there are still some more.

anyway here is what happened on day 2

next day, rushed to camp5 because i was late for the EXAM!

well very typical of me to be late for an exam. isn't it just so fun to be late for something as important as an exam?

well even though i was late, i wasn't as late. i was still in time for the exam and was still earlier than some.

my exam partner that sat on the same table as me was non other than ms. sue wong!

*sue wong - HR manager and the person we see to get our pay check. she is also one of the most funniest people in camp5

during the exam, which i did not study for, i was doing my best not to cheat or anything, but there was this person sitting opposite me who kept going "eh, whats the answer for this?" and "do you know what is CPR?" and also "eh, whose notes are those on the chair? can check the answer from there?" and it went on and on!! hahaha! but luckily she was sitting opposite me. if it weren't for sue, i wouldn't had cheated and gotten as many correct answers.

anyway after the test, we were all told to go to the bouldering area and wait for our names to be called for the CPR, choking, bandage tying skills, and recovery positions. we had to wait a really really long time. so here are a few snaps that i took while waiting.







after all that lazing around and waiting and picture snapping, we headed off to take our other tests.

had to perform CPR on this doll, the choking saving maneuver thing on this ugly looking doll, and tie the bandages and also the recovery position.

for some reason, the head bandage makes people look like a maid.

when aqmal did his CPR on the doll, he blew too hard and it actually farted! it was so funny! its one of those 'you gotta be there to see it ' kinda laughs.

anyway after it all was over i had to go to work. imagine, staying in the gym for more than 15 hours!
