Default Don't panic, I'm a medic

Don't want to brag but....

A few hours ago I finished my training for a red cross volunteer medic in a first aid team. I believe it's called a certified first responder in some countries. So I'm off to saving lives

Well, actually it's not that superhero, saving lives daily stuff like the paramedics, but in a case of real emergency or disaster (earthquake, terorist attack, war) I'd be called into service, to augment the rescue services that will be overstrained in such an event. And it's all voluntary so I'm not paid, the satisfaction of saving lives will have to do. And the feeling everyone around me are safer just because they have someone close by with advanced first aid training.

And ladies, I know mouth to mouth better than the average guy

Doctors save lives. Medics just make you more comfortable while you die

Seriously, though, congrats on the cert. The world needs more people like you.

Haha, the idea crossed my mind also, but I'd prefer this one


But no thanks, if I'll have my own custom avatar I'll gain it like everyone else. Trough donation. And I prefer the nautical ones, since profesionaly I will be a ships officer one day
A hero must be modest after all

And an advice: take courses, read books on first aid, ask people. The first minutes count, in the words of Gargamel

when there's a doctor at the scene before the paramedics it's a coincidence, but anyone can be a medic, you don't have to be certified to save a life, just keep a cool mind and remember what Teddy said
