Have you ever
rendered first aid in an emergency situation?To non-humans,
probably. And I drove Allison to the ER once. Actually, this is a sore spot with me right
now. Today I saw this hurt robin flapping around on the road and when I went back to save
him his little feet were in the air.

No, I haven't and hope that if I'm
ever confronted with that situation that I'll handle it
well.

After raising sons and stepsons,
I've treated any number of cuts and gashes. I've dealt
with dangerously omnivorous toddlers ingesting aspirin and yew berries. I've strapped a
broken arm, a broken collar bone and offered a soft shoulder for broken hearts.

No I can't really say that there has
ever been anything too serious, though I am
trained in first aid/cpr and work well under severe pressure.

Never rendered first aid. But while
I was an RA in college, I was responding to a fire drill and ran into a huge wall of smoke
on my way to the fire call box. We had a fire in my building and I was required to go back upstairs and make sure there was noone
left on my floor while a room below was burning. Pretty tense, but I managed well. Oh, and
a month ago there was a fire in the apartment below us while we were having a party. Proud
to say that I called 911 and was calm and clear.

No. But I do it for fun sometimes.
Hey, baby. It looks like ya need some mouth to mouth. Wa-how-how-how!

No...Luckily I have never needed
to...

I have never rendered nor required
first-aid.
Alias Irrelevante
No, I've never been in a position where I
would have to do that. Although, if something happened, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment
to help the person in trouble. My mom is a nurse, I have to follow in her footsteps,
right? Well...sorta.

well, im back home again. I attempted to go
to my AP History Review
today, and no one was there. Hmm....anyways, im here typing to the background of Barenaked
Ladies song and am feeling meloncoly, pehaps some classic Duran Duran will cheer me up. I
will have to fish for that CD....
By the by, many friends complimented me on
my shirt today. It is black

Yes, in a NYC subway station. My
husband and I watched a man thrown on the tracks. Bob
and another man got him up, we used my swim towels to staunch his bleeding, and then when
the emergency services were slow to respond, walked the victim to a nearby hospital and
remained with him until he was treated.
Jane, 60

Nope, can't say that I have, although I did
give up my shirt when my brother got hit with a rock in the head... does that count?
*grin*
Jeremy, 13

No. But I called an ambulance when my Papa had a heart attack at Angelo's
Supermarket in 1979.
Jami, 27
Lowell, MA
Yes, twice. The first time was on my son who
was an infant at the time. Both times I was very calm and handled the situation correctly.
Afterwards, I cried like a baby for several minutes. It is my prayer I'm never required to
go through this again.
Pamela, 38
Sugar Hill, GA
No I have not.... I probably could,
even though I have no formal training. But then again,
I must just panic!!
Katie, 24
Seminole, FL
Nope. The only real emergencies I was ever
in were car accidents, and the only serious ones were when I was a kid.
Amy, 23
Baton Rouge, LA
No, never
needed it either.
Nikki, 27
Kirkham ENGLAND
nope. . .
