the only time i felt old was when i quietly asked the instructor privately about my older memory that one does one round of CPR before calling 911 for small children. the modern answer is of course no, because everyone has a cellphone in their pocket now. back in the day, we had to break away from the scene to find a landline and that was the protocol, you did one round before calling. the reason being that cardiac arrest in the very young is usually secondary to respiratory arrest.

if you haven't done a First Aid and CPR course i **highly** recommend it. even if you can only afford to do it once in a lifetime it's worth it. the youngest person in our course couldn't have been much older than thirteen or fourteen. i and another guy were the eldest at over fifty, everyone else was i am guessing between eighteen and thirty-five. all of the others needed the certification for work/training/study purposes. i was the only one doing it purely for the joy of knowing. 🤓⛑️
