First aid course

Next week I am going to attend first aid course. After the end of the first aid course, I have to take the first aid test. Before I go to attend the first course, I think it is good for me to look through the previous first aid handout and study it, so that I can better prepared for the refresher first aid course. My only aim is to pass the first aid test, that's all. I need to concentrate on first aid study these few days.
Frankly speaking I have forgotten lots related to first aid. Let me use the time to study a bit so that I feel more confident when I attend the first aid course next week.
What is first aid? Immediate assistance or treatment given to the injured or ill before arrival of an ambulances, doctor or other appropriately qualified person. Yes, I had the first aid certificate but I think this probably expired already. Even I still have the valid first aid certificate, I think I can not ready perform well if someone need my first aid help. So this is the suitable time for me to attend the first aid refresher course. After the first aid course and if I pass the test, I will be able to render first aid help to you if you need it and provided that you are near me at that time. Perhaps I can perform CPR for you. What is CPR, I will study it later, this will be the practical part. Now I study the first aid knowledge first.
What are the aims of first aid? preserve life, prevent the condition from becoming worse, promote recovery. Yes, as the first aider, I can save people' life but I must have the knowledge and skill.
Let me go straight to the different type of injuries because there will surely questions on that.
Bleeding: Type of bleeding Arterial bleeding, venous bleeding and capillary bleeding. We need to know that arterial bleeding, bright red in colour whereas venous bleeding. dark red in colour. How to give treatment for external bleeding? Direct pressure, elevation, small adhesive dressing.
What is Shock in first aid term? Insufficient blood supply o the body's vital organs. The causes are as follow heart fails to work, blood vessels dilate, reducing the blood pressure. Also blood loss or loss of other bodily fluids. How to recognise it? We can see the following sign like a rapid pulse. pale, grey-blue skin. Sweating and cold, clammy skin. The other signs like weakness and giddiness, nausea and possibly vomiting, thirst, rapid shallow breathing, restless, anxious and even aggressive. Wow, may yawn and gasp for air or unconscious.
I have to stop here first because I need to rest now. I will continue study once I wake up. Wow, so many to learn, still got 99 percent to learn. I think it is better to learn from the first aid teacher. It is better that self-study, am I right? But it is ok because I just want to refresh myself little bit before I go for the first aid course.
Pray for me, my dear readers.

2012 end of the world?

Recently, many people talk about the end of the world is in the year of 2012. For me, I think it is unlikely, do you know why?
This was the prediction from one particular tribe. According to their calender year 2012 is the final year of their calender. That means that there is no calender for them after that year because the world ended.
But it is just the prediction from ancient time. It is unlikely unless many people doing many evil acts.
Actually the solution is rather simple. I, you, he , she and each individual just do many good deeds, do not do bad deeds like killing, stealing, improper sex, telling lies, taking drugs or all other degrading activities, get rid of greed, hatred, etc. Then we have many more years to live.
Mindset decide our destiny in this earth. If people doing good deeds, then the positive waves can dilute the negative waves.
But if the negative waves ( many people doing bad deeds ) more than positive waves, then we all have to say bye bye to each others.
But I believe the world will carry on because there is still many good people in this world.
Do you want to do many good deeds or you want to do evil acts, this is your choice. If everybody want to do good deeds seriously, then we will be blessed for sure.
Any view from you? Do you still believe year 2012 end of the world?
