My First Kiss

Recently Dr Og had to renew his BCLS certificate.The course is where an instructor runs you through Basic Cardiac Life Support, which comprises mainly protocols of Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation. Then you get tested by these instructors.

In the unlikely event that you are involve in a CPR situation in the hospital, you will be aware (hopefully you not the unaware one lor) that no one follows the BCLS protocol. The only reason why we have to get a FOUR letter word certification is because we have to get this three letter word accreditation

Dr Og very you yuan with BCLS / CPR. From very young age, I had attended CPR courses. I remember very small that time I went to Civil Defence and even had chance to play with fire extinguisher before being taught CPR. It was fun playing with fire before playing with mannequins! 

But hor, over the years, BCLS has become ridiculously kang kor (difficult)! 

Last time is just demo on the mannequin. The mannequin guai guai stay there don't make any noise one. Now the mannequin can excrete from the chest a strip to show your rhythm, timing and how deep you press his chest. Like I said, in the wards, where got follow all these timing rhythm and depth leh? It’s dare dare press and dare dare hyperventilate la

 Anyway, every human being body got the same meh. Train pushing how hard for what???!! Dr Og never touch many breast / chest before also know got soft got hard got big got small. Haha....

The BCLS also need very good stamina! If you fail one cycle because too fast too slow or too deep, you will have to repeat the whole cycle. Sibei chuaaaan ar! You have to keep blowing into an unappreciative mannequin with not the slightest response. Some of the mannequin lungs like sibei tough to expand. Some more seasoned ones like easier and looser. Most disgusting is the mouth taste of alcohol. Not whisky type of alcohol taste but the alcohol swab type of alcohol! A lot of the lao kok kok doctor all cannot tahan, halfway fall out liao

The most strange part about BCLS is that it is almost always conducted by nurses. Once, Dr Og even had a BCLS course instructed a non medical personnel who was a voluntary first aid provider. It is strange as most of these instructors have never performed CPR in their lives. Would you take driving lessons from someone who has never driven before? Most of the time, the nurses will try to help us pass. But some mean nurses will of course take the opportunity to take revenge on doctors. Also serve the doctors right if they never treat the nurses with respect in the wards. But sometimes if the doctor kennah his ex, then just too bad la. If you kiss someone you shouldn't have, now you just have to kiss the mannequin a few more times lorIt is all just karma!
