To be honest, I used to think that only doctors needed such knowledge. But due to the war in Ukraine and the fact that everyone can suffer... I thought that I wanted to learn this. For example, fainting. What is the correct way to act? Simply slapping the cheeks is not an option. You need to lay the person on their back, raise their legs and provide air flow. And what if there is a cut or burn? Not everyone knows that cold water only helps in the first seconds, and then it is important to apply a sterile bandage. The worst situations are when every second counts. Cardiac arrest, suffocation, severe bleeding... In such moments, you can't panic! That is why it is important for each of us to know the basic principles of first aid. This is a skill that can save a life - your own or someone else's. I decided to take a first aid course to feel confident in any situation. I advise everyone to do this. Anna
