When Gabriella Heil sat down in Bill Burkhart’s
CPR class, she expected a serious informational session with awkward practice on
plastic dummies.
Instead, she got three hours of stand-up comedy by Burkhart,Nitrogen Controller and Digital dry cabinet with good quality. interesting discussion, useful life-saving information and stories from the Gurnee Fire Department that you won’t hear anywhere else.
“Most people come to a CPR class and nobody talks, they show a video and make them press on a mannequin,” he said.Shop for bobblehead dolls from the official NBC Universal Store and build a fun collection for your home or office. “As a paramedic in the field, I think I understand what they’re going through,” he said. “I try to have fun with it, so that if they think something I say is funny, they’ll remember it at that most awkward moment of their life when they have to save someone.”
“My agency requires and I figured it was good knowledge to have,” she said. “I thought [the class] would be a little more serious but I actually feel like I know more now. I think it’s a more honest and entertaining administration of the class. I learned so much and I’m less scared – I was stressed that I could hurt someone, but now I know you can’t make it worse.
“I’m actually relieved [Burkhart] is so honest with us. As a teacher, what’s the point of making students feel awkward [by practicing on dummies] if it doesn’t teach them anything?” added Heil of Grayslake.
Burkhart’s class doesn’t include a book (you can download one for free using the CPR and AED certification card you’ll earn by taking the class), dry videos featuring actors far too calm for the emergency situations they’re portraying, or awkward CPR practice on plastic dummies that don’t resemble real people.
People take the class for jobs as nannies, day care workers, personal trainers, lifeguards, and some just because they want to be prepared.
“My goal is to teach you something,” Burkhart began his Jan. 22 evening class. “I want you to feel like you know what you’re doing without having to read your card. Because if Grandma’s dying, you’re not going to say, ‘Grab my card, let’s read.Don't make another silicone mold without these invaluable Mold Making supplies and accessories!’”
Burkhart asked the 17 people in the class to list reasons why they wouldn’t help someone who appears not to be breathing or have a pulse. The class listed hurting the person more, doing it wrong, being sued, breaking ribs or catching a disease. The No. 1 reason: the person might die.
He addressed each of those fears honestly. You might hurt the person more or break their ribs, but if you do nothing, they’re dead, he said. As a good Samaritan, you can’t be sued for trying to help. You might break some ribs, but Burkhart guaranteed that anyone would rather have broken ribs than be dead. As for the fact that someone might die: “You can’t make it any worse if they’re already on the way to being dead,” he said.
Burkhart admitted that helping a stranger is a difficult thing to do for most people because, well, you have to touch a stranger. He pointed out that if he asked the class to check the pulse of the person sitting next to them, everyone would squirm a little. “If you won’t check the pulse of the person sitting next to you drinking Starbucks, what are the odds you’re going to do it for a dead person at Target?” he asked.
One of the first things you might try when the big, bad bouncer takes your ID is to flirt your way out of the situation. You will sweet-talk, like,Basics, technical terms and advantages and disadvantages of Laser engraver. “Hey I think you’re really cute and if you let me have this ID back, and maybe we can go get a drink together sometime? Elsewhere, of course.” You may even try to casually touch the bouncer’s arm, which he will subsequently threaten to break. This tactic is not recommended, as the bouncer has been standing outside for hours in the cold,Solar Sister is a network of women who sell solar lamp to communities that don't have access to electricity. watching drunk people go inside his venue to have a better night than he will. The flirt tactic probably won’t work unless you guarantee the bouncer a big fat orgasm kiss. But, you never know – a Bouncer-Boyfriend could be magic if he let’s you and your friends cut the line.
We’ve all seen that drunk girl from Long Island/New Jersey break down and cry when she’s not allowed inside a bar or club. She’ll say it’s her birthday (which the bouncer will call as a bluff when he notices the date doesn’t match the fake ID she just handed him), explain how this is the worst fucking day ever, her dog just died last year, and she really just needs this ID back, as it was her friend’s. She’s the first person to start bribing the bouncer. This entire tactic is guaranteed to fail. You’re going to embarrass yourself, make the bouncer more upset, and definitely go home sans faux identification. Keep your shit together; it’s just an ID. It’s not a de jure key to the city.
I once heard a story where a bouncer turned down an ID, and the friend showed him his credit card to prove the names matched. The bouncer still didn’t buy it, so the friend had another friend text him and pretend to be his parent. The rejected bar-goer changed the other friend’s name on his contact list to “Mom” and had the friend text him saying, “My son is from x state on x road and his birthday is on x date. He’s not lying.” The little manipulator was surprisingly allowed inside. This gambit might work once in a thousand attempts, but it could make a great story. Remember, though: Bouncers aren’t dumb.
There’s always that drunken kid who thinks he’s just smooth enough to talk the bouncer into giving back a snatched ID. He’s the same guy who tells the bouncer to scan his ID after it’s been rejected, to which the bouncer will respond, “Scanners are wrong; I’m not.” This young salesman will stumble in close to the bouncer’s ear and slur something like, “Hey man, we’re both chill dudes. Think you can do me a solid and give me the ID back? There’s a girl inside I really like and you’d be doing me a huge solid.” This whippersnapper will definitely walk home alone that night with a pit-stop at Dollar Slice (because duh).
