Oral Blog Entry Seven - Diploma Lecture 2

Helping others

At the beginning of the lecture, the lecturer collapsed suddenly and everyone was shocked at that moment. When everyone was in hurry, he stood up and then we realized it was a kind of introduction: ”When you see someone collapse, how can you help him?”
The lecturer introduced four important steps: Stop, Think, Communication, Deal and Dial. In this section, I think that ‘Think’ is the most important step. It means ‘think am I safe ?’. Although it is very easy for us to understand what I should do in such urgent situation, but when we meet someone who is in this situation, I think it is difficult to find people who have abilities or courage to do the kiss of life or CPR. So what should I do in that circumstance is still a big question for me even I have already learnt these skills.

Finally, I have listened and studied this kind of course many times and I still think it is very important for everyone to learn it. I am very curious about how New Zealanders learn it from school and apply it in real situation
