As a 3rd year medical student, I’ve learnt basic life support, but only ever practiced it on a dummy – Resucie Anne. Last Sunday, before my University Chamber Orchestra concert, a member of the audience collapsed. It took me a few minutes to get myself together, and thank God there was a doctor in the orchestra, but before I knew it, there I was, performing CPR on a real person, trying to keep him alive.
Sadly, there was nothing we could do for him. But my parents are very proud of me:)
