Well, firstly there's been a few more St John duties to talk of. There was another footie game at the Amex, this time on a much smaller scale; the Fringe festival in Brighton; and another duty where we had two young identical twin girls who had a condition I have never heard of:
'Reflex Anoxic Seizures'.
This means that if one of them gets a shock eg. a loud noise, then they collapse and their heart stops. However, it occured to me whilst daydreaming at this duty, that if one of the girls had a shock and their heart stopped, would that be enough of a shock for the other twin that her heart would stop too? So we could have two casualties?... these are the kind of thoughts that fill my head whilst on duty. :P
So onto the next news I have just embarked on a level 3 qualification in 'Principles of End of Life Care' which is intriguing and very relevent to my current employment. So I have thrown myself into it and am almost halfway through. :)
I have always taken a interest in programmes on television that follow the emergency services (especially Ambos). More recently I have endevoured to catch 24 hours in A&E as it shows many emergency situations and the remedies - fascinating stuff!
In other news, Lucy and I have ticked another visit off our list today: Lewes town and castle. Coincidentally, it happenes to be the day that Lewes castle commemorate the Battle of Lewes with a family day and samba band at the castle. - so lots of people around, but still lovely. After the visit to the castle, Lucy and I had lunch in a riverside cafe and did some people watching. Photos of the visit below:
I have other, most exciting, news which I am unable to discuss on the interweb at present, until it (hopefully) becomes official. Watch this space...
Keep smiling all! :D
