Jul. 1st, 2007 05:36 pmThe Good:
I got my certifications for Emergency First Response and O2 provider for diving emergencies! Now I'm ready to do the research diver certification in August. Also I'll be ready to get my rescue diver certification after I've completed one more dive.
The Bad:
I got seasick on the boat last night. I didn't actually throw up but I felt horrible and had to lie down for most of the trip. Damnit. I never get seasick! What the hell, people?!
The Ugly:
I had to watch a training video at home before the EFR class - there were "scenarios," where actors would act out an emergency and what to do and it was like a horror movie: there was a guy in a woodshop and I'm peeking between my fingers going "don't use the saw!" There was another one where a guy had a heart attack and fell on a sharp garden implement (to illustrate the idea that you need to treat the breathing and circulation problems before you deal with any bleeding). And before he fell on it, the camera kept showing the implement, all sharp and sinister. I seriously could barely watch.
You know what else? In the emergency O2 provider book, there's also stuff about first aid for injuries from hazardous marine life. The symbol for it on the front of the book is a scary octopus! (Look in the top left corner by "DAN Training and Education.") I haven't done that certification yet.
