A few years ago I took the CPR class but I knew in my heart that I would not be able to put my mouth on the mouth of a complete stranger who was in distress. I took the class to be able to help my family and friends. I am sure there are those out there who are judging me for that but I just know I couldn’t do it.

You’d do it if you had to when the time came. Thanks for taking the course. EVERYONE should know basic first aid and CPR. I cringe when I hear abut people taking a dirt nap because someone was too lazy or ignorant to help them.

There are devices that are easily obtained that enable the first responder to give ventilations without mouth to mouth contact.

Look into it...
