Hello first aid friends! Sorry for the lapse in the blog posts. It has been awhile I must admit! Nevertheless we have something new up our sleeves and for this September the 11th, we are proud to announce our One Heart Mass CPR Event 2010. Registration is free for everyone! Visit www.masscpr.org for more information! See you there!
I am sure you have heard about our up and coming My True Hero Book to be released middle of this month. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but When you get the My True Hero book (it just costs $25 by the way), you will also receive 2 tickets to the My True Hero Seminar. This is not a first aid course. In fact, it is much more important that a first aid course.
Most people think that taking a first aid course is sufficient to turn you into a quick thinking, fast reacting first aider. The fact is this, first aid courses only teaches you what to do – it doesn’t teach you what to expect in a real life emergency. You can have all the skills in the world, but the nature of a real life emergency – the stress, anxiety, mind struggle, fears… these will take you out instantly. It doesn’t matter who the person who needs help is, where it occurs or how it occurs. The fact is how you are not able to deal with these factors in a real life emergency, you will get confused, freeze and panic – but do nothing productive.
For years, this has been a well-recognised problem. Yet until now, there is no course in the world that teaches you how to do this. That is why we developed the My True Hero Seminar.
Do catch my very own DIY introduction of the My True Hero Seminar which I recorded earlier this year below. If you want to know more about the seminar or just feel like having a good laugh seeing me on video, just follow the link to catch the video.
Thanks once again. If My True Hero Book and Seminar makes sense to you, do help me spread the word to your family, friends and associates. We’re looking at empowering the lives of 1000 people this November! So help us achieve this objective and let them be empowered to save the lives of others and their loved ones.
Thank you friends!
p.s. Remember, the book will include 2 free tickets to the seminar. The next one will be conducted at Singapore Expo this Nov!
p.s.s. The My True Hero Seminar is not a preview or sales pitch. It is a real, life changing program designed to turn ordinary people into extraordinary lifesavers.
Singapore First Aid Training Centre was being invited by Eagle Productions to provide professional input for a Malay Health programme on Suria called S.M.L @ Sihat. S.M.L@Sihat is a health magazine that broaches the subject of health in a ‘prevention is better than cure’ approach.
This episode includes a segment on cardiac arrest. It covers the identification, signs and symptoms, CPR and also an introduction to the AED or Automated External Defibrillator. The skit is a guy who was running on the threadmill and suddenly experiences immensed chest pain. He loses balance, falls off the threadmill but is just saved in time from falling by a fellow gym member. At this point, a close up shot shows him looking pale and sweaty, both signs of a heart attack.
Stars Aaron Aziz.
The Singapore Silat Federation or PERSISI will be AED equipped for their competition and as a training requirement, we were privileged to have a team of national silat athletes take up CPR+AED course with us. The 4 hour NRC accredited CPR+AED course was different this time, because we were surrounded by the media crew from Suria News who were featuring this event.
At the same time, we were visited by Member of Parliament Dr Fatimah Lateef for GRC Marine Parade, who happened to by the medical advisor for PERSISI. During her visit, Dr Fatimah Lateef shared her knowledge and experience with the silat team and even went the extra mile to spend time to explainand demonstrate the steps of using the AED.
It was a great experience for all the trainers and staff at the Singapore First Aid Training Centre, and yet another milestone for the use of AED in sports today.
