What’s your Reaction?

Why did I decide to become a First Responder?

One day my friend requested me to do a little favour. he roused his foot, he had a little injury on the top and told me to put bandaid on the area.

I put the knot but the problem is it’s on the sole. it made him little uncomfortable to walk. he doesn’t say anything rather than ‘thank you’.

This little event made me think about the essential skill. I have a certain responsibility, I need to learn basic 1st aid. So that I am able to take care of myself and my circle. I searched for any coaching centre nearby location. after a long search, Someone posted in quora about Alert SimLab, Neelankarai beach
