Day 2

First aid training today. It was a mix of the usual CPR and bandaging excersises, mixed in with a slightly more disturbing aspect. Desensitisation to horrific injuries. This involved looking at real life images on the big screen of burns victims of all ages. Clean burns, dirty burns, explosion burns. I cannot go into too much detail, but at one point I really thought I was going to hurl chunks...

That survived, we did get to leave early for the day, and the great accomplishment of course is that I am now a First Aider in a foreign country having learnt what I needed to know in their language.
