Think About It...
If you were injured, or faced with a life threatening emergency or illness, wouldn’t you want someone near you who could calmly and competently administer the vital first aid that would make the difference between your life, death or disability?
Similarly if you were near someone close to you, and that person was injured or faced with a life threatening emergency or illness, wouldn’t you want to have the knowledge to administer vital first aid to that person, rather than look helplessly on while the person dies or is disabled, knowing that had you known first aid, it would have made all the difference?
