Pop or Drop.

I taught CPR for the Professional Rescuer, First Aid and Emergency Oxygen Administration at the Y this morning.  

When we got to choking, I chose Naomi to be my victim so I could demonstrate the proper technique for the class.  She's a lifeguard over at the Prior Lake Y, a bit taller than me and maybe a bit smaller.  I let the class know that they needed to brace themselves and be prepared because "you never know if or when your victim will pop or drop unconscious".  So I asked Naomi to go unconscious.

I have never had someone drop dead so fast or be so limp!  It was awesome - because I caught her!  The class was rolling with laughter!  It was amazing!  And they all braced themselves well . . .
