One of the greatest fears an person might face is the possibility of a first aid or medical emergency.

It is surprising that most people are unprepared for an injury or health emergency, even though statistically it is likely that everyone will face some sort of medical situation in their lifetime.

We are all busy, and may lack time to take a first aid class, and often put it off until we have suffered from a sudden trauma. Other times that people enroll in first aid classes is when they are expecting a baby, have a toddler getting into the chemicals at home or have older parents with medical conditions.
