Doesn't that sound like many relationships we know of? One partner takes the other for granted until the other disappears or shows signs of leaving and than, waaaaah... suddenly, the behaviour improves!
I think the gahmen is just afraid you all will take out your CPF
I just underwent an Acute Life Support training. I shudder to think of the competency test next!
The Basic Life Support and Acute Life Support training in Singapore was much tougher. The Resus Anne mannequin had this function where it would print out an ECG of your chest compressions and breaths so the instructor can count how many compressions you actually gave in a minute and whether the compressions were deep enough, the breaths were sufficient. Almost all of us failed the first time round because what was expected is really quite tough! We all blew and blew with all our might till we got light-headed, but still, that wasn't enough volume!!
I remember when we did CPR in my previous workplace in Singapore, the doc kept yelling at us, "Harder! Faster!!" but we all felt like peng san'ing because we were already giving it our best effort and still, from the ECG waveform, it wasn't even remotely sufficient! Of course, it didn't help that the man was morbidly obese.
With more and more morbidly obese individuals here, it's changing the face of CPR. We had a colleague from Emergency ask what we should do re morbidly obese ladies with gargantuan boobs that got in the way of ECG's and more importantly, defibrillation. Apparently, we somehow have to find a way of taping the boob up and out of the way because if you defib when your hand is touching the boob, the electricity current will pass over to you and depending on the situation, it might trigger a cardiac episode in us!!

already, their Duh-rector has dodged a bullet when someone got run down... heck! he went to score points telling the Senile Management that he was "quick to react" by putting up the barricades..
sometimes i wonder if the inmates are running the asylum
I certainly hope that there are people trained in administering BLS in your building!!

I think the same will apply to the morbidly obese men with gargantuan man boobs

Originally posted by the Bear:don't care about those idiots..
they are the ones who stonewall everything...
they have a Transport Section which refuses to transport anything, they have a Buildings Section which refuses to give us access and keys to our own office rooms...
and most of all, they have a Director who stonewalls everything, and supports his heads of sections.. no matter how insane and barking mad their decisions are (which are usually because they are too lazy)
the Dir rejected suggestions to put chain barricades at a cul-de-sac to stop jaywalking until someone was run over.. "no.. impossible to do.." then after the near fatality, it was done within 3 hours...
the most insane thing was when i put up for a defib to be put at the security, in case people drop from heart attacks, the rejection which came had this reason: we do not want the public to complain if we do not use the thing properly and cause injury...
i am not kidding...
the only people who are okay in there are the clerical staff, who try to help as much as possible.. the execs and all that, are lazier than sloths on valium
i might just understand if they were in US where any unauthorised or improper use would means multi million/billion law suits.
btu in singapore.................

Yeah, man! I've seen some pretty impressive man boobs that can rival my own here!
I was telling the instructor, let's work together to design a contraption that can lift the boobs out of the way and be safe for all involved. And then, copyright it and sit back and collect royalties from our posh mansions in Toorak.
BTW, did you know that large boobies actually give the owners shoulderaches and backaches?

Yeeeeeeaaaarh... riiiiiiight!! I can sniff insincerity from across the ocean!
In any case, don't worry...
#1 : the only pole dancing I'd ever attempt, is if the pole was as large and sturdy as a pillar and only then I will dance around it like the Bollywood mama's do!
#2 : in the worst case scenario, should a fall occur, I've got padding... Extra Large in size. It has actually saved me a few times from what could have been a nasty hip injury or Coccyx (tailbone) injury. I'm forever indebted to my fat ass.

yes, one side of my tush is still sore. now will you please treat me to a muffin?

why not just include some adhesive tape in the box? use the tape and tape the boobs up and pull the tape to attach to the shoulder

actually i was thinking of whether the victim will sue for "molest" if you even touch their boobs. is there any legislation there that protects the doc/nurse?
damn my brain feels tired from the editing

That's what the instructor suggested - use the surgical tape to tape the boobs upwards.
