This morning at work (where i'm at now) one of our colleagues came upstairs and he looked quite pale...my mum asked if he was ok and he said he had pins and needles down his left side of his body (something he's had before seeing he has a history of heart problems)
Anyway...he didn't look to good and was lookin for the NHS direct number but my mum phoned fo an ambulance instead coz he was lookin quite ill and i sat him down on a chair phoned my boss to let him know this guy was goin to hospital and while i was on the phone he started passing out.
So i hung up the phone had to lay him down (which in all honesty i should have done in the first place coz it says to do that in 1st aid which i've had courses on hence the thread) and put him in the recovery position...i then kept telling to open his eyes and try and keep talking to me but he was going in and slightly out of conciousness...but i managed to keep him awake for the paramedics to get there and do their thing...
so all in all...i thought i'd never need to use 1st aid...but i'm lucky i know what to do and today proved it...
