I did my
three day first aid course with Sebastian, I learnt many things I did not know
and also refreshed the things I did. The presentation was clear,informative and
easy to follow.
I learnt
an important feature from the training, which was learning the difference
between a heart attack and a stroke which lead me to remember key facts about
how to respond.
Another
key fact learnt was the use of a defibrillator, which has now been explained to
me and I feel confident in using it.
At the
end of the training course, we was presented with a very informative and
amazing booklet which we can use to touch up on facts.
This
training became life saving for myself as a week later, I came home from work
and was sitting down watching TV, when I started feeling unlike my usual self,
my left side of my face had dropped. I experienced pain down the left side of
my neck and that went down my arm. This then made me think of the facts learnt
in the first aid course of stroke symptoms with F.A.S.T. I was then able to acknowledge
that I needed to get to hospital as I was experiencing many of these symptoms.
I was then admitted to hospital for a suspected stroke. I had to have a MRI
scan which concluded that I did not have any lasting damage to my brain. I am
now recovering and on medication to keep my blood thin and using statins.
I am
forever grateful to Sebastian for giving me the first aid course which helped
me understand first aid in a simple yet rememberable way.
Kindest
regards,
Lorraine
Frost.
