    Very informative. That’s why I think First Aid training should be made necessary to avoid casualties. When doing first aid, you are making it easy for the patient’s condition to stabilize and give him enough time to reach the hospital to get medical attention.

    I would recommend you enroll in Metro Safety Training in Canada
