Basic Life Support
I spent the day at Princess Margaret Hospital taking a Basic Life Support (BLS) course for healthcare providers. I was certified in the past, but my certification had expired so I had to take the class today. Basically, I spent the day doing chest compressions, giving respirations, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) on a variety of non-alive patients of various colors and sizes.
I’m kicking myself in the butt for not bringing my camera with me. Since I had no camera, I got creative and used my laptop to snap some pics and a short video, but they’re of low quality. Thursday and Friday I have my Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) class, and then I’m audi TT! Next time I will be bringing my real camera!
My name is Kendra and I am a third-year medical student attending
