The 'B' Division team, shown here, narrowly lost out to first position in the national competition that year, but won both the 'B' Division and 'F' Division cups. Unfortunately, the names of the officers were not shown with this photo. First Aid training was initiated by the St John's Ambulance Brigade, founded in 1877. The following year, the Metropolitan Police was the first Police Force in the country to take up the training offered.
On March 18, 2013, five members of the Kentuckiana Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders attended a Red Cross blended learning skills session to become First Aid, CPR and AED certified. Prior to the in-person skills session, each member was able to complete online training at their own pace from the comfort of their own home. With a convenient training option now available, the Tiffany Circle has set a goal to have all members trained in First Aid, CPR and AED.

On August 25, the Kentuckiana Region invited businesses from throughout the community to attend the Ready 365 Reception to kick-off the new corporate giving campaign led by Courier-Journal President & Publisher Wes Jackson. While the event was meant to inform, it also inspired. Kentuckiana Region Executive Jennifer Adrio presented Katie Strange with a Certificate of Extraordinary Achievement for her brave actions this past July when she helped save a life.
Strange was at her home in Elizabethtown, Ky. when her neighbor ran over with his infant daughter. The girl was choking on a small toy and was no longer breathing. Using skills she learned in a Red Cross Babysitter training course, Strange dislodged the toy from the infant’s throat saving the child’s life.

Learning first aid was a lot of fun - especially the gruesome made up wounds which really impressed the girls. The girls learnt how to treat these wounds, bandaging etc under the beautiful shade of a gum tree.
Attendees of the workshop pose for a picture in their self-made raincoats, which they constructed using a black trash bag.

Angee Doerr, a marine fisheries specialist with Oregon Sea Grant, watches fisherman Charles Cromer perform CPR on a dummy during a first-aid training in Newport while fisherman Kien Jones (center) also performs CPR. Oregon Sea Grant and the Eder Family Fund paid for the class. It was taught by Kevin Buch, a diving and small boat safety officer with Oregon State University with help from Doerr. Laurel Kincl and Viktor Bovbjerg, both occupational safety researchers at OSU, are the leaders on the project. (photo by Tiffany Woods)

April 23, 2022: I’m so #exhausted tonight. I did day one of my second first aid course with @stjohnambulancebc - Standard #FirstAid - with CPR-C-AED (CSA Intermediate). It’s a two day offering, but to be honest most of the stuff covered today was what was covered in the one day long Emergency First Aid with CPR-C & AED (CSA Basic) that I took a few weeks back. It’s tomorrow will be all new material. Overall, I did appreciate the review, and the chance to practice #CPR more. I also loved how we got to practice placing each other into recovery position as opposed to just placing a dummy into that position (and wow, small world … the young woman I partnered with, actually had a lovely arm tattoo of florals by @tattoosbyjolene … who did my #bee tattoo last September).
In early May, I have Mental Health First Aid which will complete my First Aid exploration for now. Followers of my feed know I have had my own personal struggles with mental health so I’ve seen it from the casualty side, from the side of the one who is suffering. I’m trying to learn about what I experience though, I feel that’s important so this should be a good course to push through.
If I were to study first aid further, it looks like the next levels would involve taking Occupational First Aid Levels 1 and 2, and maybe even level 3. But I don’t really need those right now. Ultimately, these first aid courses for me were always more nice to have, as opposed to need to have, although I do think everyone should get training in this area. I also took the course on working alone - which was good. Even as an artist where part of my garage is setup for doing sculpture work, I feel more confident in knowing what to do should something happen while I’m making art: having someone to checkin with regularly on days I’m in the garage being one example. I have a good first aid kit on hand in my home studio and garage, even when @cutekoalaby was living with me, but I don’t think either of us had the knowledge that can come with taking a few good first aid courses to have been able to have helped each other back then.
Anyway. Time for some sleep.
113/365.

Another little window into how we were. This is the second, 1949 edition of a book brought out in 1939; I suppose the war got in the way of updates. What is surprising is the number of things for the housewife to do that I would have expected the man to do (like I do today), such as changing tap washers or putting up shelves.
Face massaging or gurning?
The car gets used as a makeshift First Aid post after Daughter #2 trips and splats on the tarmac.
Always carry a First Aid kit, especially with clumsy children.
I take this with us whenever we travel.
I've used the book and remedies twice this morning . First I dropped a dinner plate on my toe and immediately took arnica, internally and externally. Next I poured the boiling syrup for my granola bars over my fingers and used arnica for shock and cantharis for pain. I used CALENDULA gel for quick healing.
