I officially passed my life-guarding written and practical exams today.

I can save your life. (Scary, ne?)

I never learned to swim. Mynda will save me, yay! :D

[musicgeekster]

You can now save people's lives?

They let you do that?

[tritoneclarinet]

Yay! Although doesn't this go with the CPR and First Aid certifications that I'm sure they made you get too?

[mynda]

I had to do a new CPR - professional rescuer - and they gave me my own mask n' everything.

And first aid was kinda built in to the test as well. But we didn't really cover any of it during the classes, so that was fun.... x_x

Ahh!!! When in doubt amputate! Cauterize the wound! Red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black you're okay Jack! C! C! The answer is always C!

Umm... We were told when in doubt, protect the vital organs?

Yeah... My first aid course was interesting too...

[mynda]

Half our first aid/rescue stuff was based around the theory that "if it's spinal, take as long as you need to stabilize and backboard properly. unless ABC's are compromised. then, fuck the spine and get them out of the water and get them breathing."

Gotta love exercises with catchy names though, like Ring of Death...

Save my life?! Good luck! HAHA!
