First Aid Blog

Our 3rd installment of My True Hero will be held tomorrow at the Singapore Expo, Conference Halls A-F. See you tomorrow! It’s going to be a fun-filled event!!!

From the desk of Rasheed:

Do you have a first aid question? I will answer it for you on the Junior n U “Ask the Expert” page!

Last week, Junior n U called me and invited me to be part of the panel of experts for the category of first aid. Check it out here:

http://www.juniornu.com/community/ask-the-experts

The panel of experts include prominent names such as

• Thenmoliee Joe (Kid’s behaviour, IQ, kids with special needs),
• Claudel Kuek (Owner of PowerMoves Pilates Studio)
• and Wong Li-Lin (yes, the actress from 90′s local drama “999″)

This is a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to post their questions and clear their doubts on first aid. In fact, I’ve already posted up a few common “myth busters” to begin with. You can read them here >>

If you didn’t manage to catch our training director, Mr Abdul Rasheed Doad on Channel News Asia on Monday 12th April, 8.50am, we have the video recording of his 8 mins on national television.

Watch the official My True Hero Seminar video with clippings and testimonials from our inaugural launch in March 2009. Get ready for the next one in Nov 2009 this year!!

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.

Article written by Mr Mohamed Saufee, Lead Trainer of Singapore First Aid Training Centre on CPR for the Human Capital. Read it below:

Is fear really a factor??

There are 2 aspects of first aid – technical and
psychological. Most first aid courses, probably even the
ones you attended, cover mainly the technical skills and
not much of the psychological aspect.

Why is the psychological of first aid important? Because
you can have all the know-how, but if your mind starts
running wild in an emergency or if you are just completely
frozen, you won’t be of much help.

It is no wonder that only 1 out 5 persons receives CPR when
it is needed.

Its not that people don’t want to help, its just that they
aren’t ready for what their mind does to them in a real
situation. And that’s what stops them from helping.

That is why its so important for you especially, to be at
My True Hero. During My True Hero, you will discover your
very own freeze factors and deal with them – there and
then.

You can also expect a variety of activities and processes
lined up back to back in 1 intensive day. Be prepared to
move around, work in groups, interact with others.

You will walk out of the room feeling more confident than
ever before.
