[...]The mention of "Nelly the Elephant" now conjures up our latest session at work to update our knowledge of emegency first aid treatment...when performing cardiac resuscitation on a patient, in the unlikely (please God) event that someone collapses in front of the reception desk while the docs are out, the correct rhythm for the procedure is to depress the chest while singing "Nelly".  2 verses is 30 depressions and then you stop for a breath...or give the patient a breath, if you've any left to spare.  Only after being the first to attempt to save a dummy's life was I told that the idea was to sing "Nelly" in your head.  [...]

Still gives me a chuckle so your embarrassment at the time was well worth it.  ;D

Poor Rog  :(

If your daughter is out until 4:00 AM tell her to run the mower around while she is at it.



I tried this, Di---this is how the conversation went...
Me: Maybe you could run the mower about when you come back at 4 a.m.
Daughter: My heels would stick in the lawn.
Me: Excellent! You'll aerate the grass at the same time!
Daughter: Go away.

She said that? That's truly shocking. Mine would have told me to p*ss off.

Did you honestly think I would be talking rubbish?

It's in the genes.

Did your CPR dummies have red vests? Ours had removable faces (for hygiene purposes) and when they were all lying around the floor it looked like Hannibal Lecter had eaten a bunch of beach lifeguards.

Our very own "Resusci Annie" is old and well worn and we are given a new plastic bag thingy to have each time to put over her mouth.  When the big gun arrived from the Health Board the last time for training, he had an all-singing, all dancing dummy...which will now be re-named "Elton" in honour of my brother's latest rant.  Anyway, this thing makes breathing noises to aid in diagnosis, has a heartbeat, can be intubated and has veins that can be used to take off "blood"...coool fun or what  ;D

Ours were head and torso only. And removable nose/mouth, under which you inserted a plastic bag. The face parts can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

I hate that word "torso". The News Of The World was always full of "woman's headless torso" stories when I was a kid. I wasn't sure what a torso was, but the fact it was identifiable as male or female gave me a clue.
