You don’t necessarily have to study a full medical course just to employ basic first aid and help extend the life of a person. You simply have to enroll in a first aid course and you can then provide help especially when there is no medical professional around or if help is yet to come. If you are not yet convinced, here are some more reasons why you should enroll now. 1. You can calm people down During emergency medical cases, everyone is normally in a panic. People start screaming, crying and feeling helpless. If you have first aid skills, you can help calm them down. You can tell them that you will do your best to extend the life of the patient while waiting for professional help to come. It doesn’t help someone suffering if all they see is more chaos around them. 2. You can protect your loved…
