First of a big 
to Obijohn, for putting the class together and Profire for hosting us on 6/1!
I haven't had any medical training and all the CPR stuff I remember came from High School. So it's been a few years. This was a really great class with a TON of information. We started at the basics and worked up to more sexy stuff... like GSWs.
Obijohn did a good job of explaining the basics without it getting boring. He touched on things like the Good Samaritan laws in Indiana and your obligations, as well as some universal precautions when providing care to someone.
From there we covered things such as Assessing the scenario, patient condition, etc and moved in to some basics in CPR without getting really in-depth. After basic CPR topics, the class moved into some more specific areas such as heat, cold, and other environmental conditions talking about symptoms, treatment, and prevention.
After Environmental issues were covered we moved into other things like Heart attacks, Strokes, Siezures, how to identify them and what to do when each presents itself.
This is where we started getting into broken bones, cuts, GSWs and we dug into Obijohn & Rhino's kits to see how various splints, bandages, and other items could be used for various situation. After being able to try to apply some of these things to ourselves we dug further into the Instructors kits and discussed how and what different items could be used and why they might be a good idea to carry.
If I would've been thinking, I would've snapped some pics of all the gear Obijohn brought out. This was a really good foundation and there was a ton of information shared.
Thanks for putting the class together and thanks to the fellow students who were there to make this class happen
