Whilst it is a legal requirement...I'd rather our first aiders never come within a mile of me in my hour of need.

I'll take it very seriously.
if they are gonna send me they better make sure the first aid boxes are stocked up.

My favourite experience of this was when a chap at work collapsed for some reason (still not sure why). We had a first aider and he came equipped with a defibrillator. We were obviously all as keen as mustard that he use this on the collapsed chap - on the grounds that we'd never seen one used before and thought it would be a giggle. Sadly, though, the first aider bottled it - much to everyone's disappointment - and the collapsed chap revived and was carted off in an ambulance. :-(

Thet are all automated now, don't need training, stick the pads on and the machine will decide if it needs to defrib or not, takes all the fun out of it imo

I thought you were going to say the first aider applied the defib pads to each of the chaps' ears ....and ended up needing to recruit a replacement for the deceased

Sadly not. We were all egging him on to zap him, but he fannied out completely. I mean yes, that turned out to be the right thing to do in the end as there was nothing wrong with the bloke's heart, but it was still a great disappointment to the rest of us who were eager to see him thrash about like a gaffed eel.

Can't believe he passed up the opportunity to shout the classic 'clear!' ****er imo
