Every year, I have to get renewed in CPR, Defib, and first aid. Today was the day to play with Annie. I was the only girl, and as I tried to apply first aid to Annie, I noticed she has not changed over the years. And no matter how much practice I have, I can't make Annie come back to life.
As the teacher was describing where to place your hands to do chest compressions, she was talking about how the victim would not look like Annie, but rather would be some person who has big boobs and they (the boobs) would be flopping all over the place so it would be difficult to get the right spot without grabbing a handful of boobs. As I was turning red with emabarassment, and the teacher was feeding off this, I started to imagine Annie with big floppy boobs. The thought of that grossed me out, and now I am not sure about this whole CPR thing.
All I could do is think about all the gross things
1) the body fluids
2) big boobs
3) me having to blow into another woman's face with the only barrier between us being a thin piece of plastic!! (YUCK to the max)
So I have decided that if anything happens while I am working, I am making the guys do the mouth to mouth, even if it is another guy.
If you think about it- I am not being mean, the person is already gone, we are just trying to keep the blood flowing in hopes that the medical people can use machines.
Now I wont ever look at Annie the same, and of course I doubt I will ever get her to come to life no matter how much I blow into her mouth.
oh, yeah and one last thing- If I pass out- I just wantto be left alone cause I really dont want another person blowin their hot air into my lungs! Unless, I am in the middle of a bike ride then it would be important for me to breath again so I could finish the ride.

I have to get recertified in CPR every year also. I honestly don't like those CPR dolls. They just give me the creeps.
