First Responder Course

Our victims did not choose us, we chose them.  We could have chosen another profession, but we didn’t. We have accepted the responsibility for patient care during some of the worst situations imaginable: When we are tired and cold, when it’s wet and dark or even when we cannot predict some of the situations we shall encounter. We must either accept this responsibility or surrender it.  We must give to our victims the best care possible. Not while we are day dreaming, not with faulty or unchecked equipment, not with inadequate supplies and most importantly, not with yesterday's knowledge.

We cannot know what medical information is current and we cannot profess to be fully prepared to care for victims if we do not continue to update and take onboard new teachings each day.  The First Responder course provides a part of that knowledge to the Pre-Hospital Provider but, more importantly, it ultimately benefits the person who needs our all - The Victim.
