first aid kits and supplies

Have you ever come across an emergency situation where someone suddenly just drops and becomes unconscious? Or maybe you've even crossed paths with a person who had an acute severe pain in their chest. Perhaps, you know someone dear to you who experienced these things, and you didn't know what to do.

Being aware of what type of health emergencies are likely to occur is important. This helps you to quickly identify the problem at hand, then think of the best solutions.

I've experienced seeing a lady on the train get into a fit. I was only 18 years old but I knew CPR and first-aid which helped me to not flinch and act calmly.

Thankfully, we had a trained doctor around who managed to assess her condition and intervened appropriately before the paramedics arrived.

Imagine this happened to you too. Do you know what to do? If you do, you could very well be saving one precious life. Just like how we saved the lady on the train.
