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 . . .
