PROCRASTINATOR June 2014 | Page 7

Hazel, who carries up to 30kg of medical equipment on her person, told students all about the adrenalin rush of delivering a baby at the side of a road and the horror of treating burn victims for the first time. She was also quick to show off her state of the art defibrillator (a piece of equipment used to treat cardiac arrests), which was very exciting, particularly since we recently reached the halfway point in our quest to raise over £1500 to buy a defibrillator of our very own at Parkside. Not only this, but we even got to get hands-on and have a proper look at the thousands of pounds worth of equipment that paramedics carry with them every day, and even tested our own oxygen saturation levels and blood pressure.

All in all the visit was a great success! First Aid Club is on every Tuesday lunchtime in Room 10 at Parkside. 7
