Thank you for reading this story. I recently went on a First Aid course and it taught me a lot of basic things that could save someone's life. My hope with this story is readers will pick up some of the knowledge so in the event they will need to help they could potentially save someone's life. Please note that as a UK author everything in this is going by UK standards and advice. I hope you enjoy it.
Prologue
Stephanie looked at the letter in her hands, hoping that the words on the page would change. She couldn't believe he was going to put her through this. She reread the words in front of her.
Dear Ms Plum
You have been booked on the First Aid at Work course to be held at Rangeman on Haywood Street, Trenton on 7th-9th March 2012.
All materials required will be provided on the day. Our aim is to make sure no one dies through a lack of first aid training.
For any queries lease contact your local representative, Dr Brown.
Sincerely
Frederick Rodrigues
A First Aid course. Just what she always wanted. When she signed back up to working for Ranger full time and he mentioned this time she would have to go through training this is not what she was expecting. So far she had found she was enjoying the benefits of the rest of the training, feeling fitter, having a more toned stomach and legs and being able to catch skips easier. Plus the extra time spent working with the Merry Men was fun.
But First Aid? She hated the sight of blood and was squeamish looking at wounds and now they wanted to teach her how to fix them? This felt like a disaster in the making and she just hoped she would not feint and/or throw up in front of everyone.
I need your help. I want to make this as entertaining as possible and for that I would like readers to propose ideas for situations in which one of the characters could find themselves requiring treatment but without it being too heavy. Any suggestions leave them in a review or PM.
