   I just completed a first-aid course with the Canadian Red Cross, and holy crap, it is information dense. My head is throbbing.

   Learned a TON.

   Namely, that CPR is demanding as hell.

     @rek Understanding how to ensure clear airways and maintain a persons blood circulation is an awesome skill. Keeping that knowledge in your head is enough to save a life which is just magnificent.

     @rek A lot to learn, but also very useful IMO!

     Also, agree — CPR is super duper demanding; I'm always kinda insecure and anxious about not being able to perform it properly if/when it'll be needed.

     We also have to take a "refresher" course every two years in Italy to keep the BLS certification — tough, but I feel like all in all it's reasonable.

     @swift @rek yes, having a bit of bulk is actually quite helpful when pumping a heart externally

     @rek turns out doing all the work of someone's lungs and heart for them is a lot of replacement muscle 😁
