I was just cleaning out my junk drawer and found my mouth shield in there🤦🏼‍♀️ A lotta good that would do me if I ever needed it and not only didn’t have it, but had no idea where it was.

But really in all my years of being certified & re-certified, I’ve NEVER encountered anyone in need of rescue.

If we all carried around everything we could possibly need at every given moment for any possible unforeseen need, we’d all be hauling 20 ft long trailers 😆

I’m a minimalist and everywhere I go I bring as little as possible. Sometimes I bring nothing at all with me places I go. I really prefer to travel lightly.

    Nah, because chest compressions in rhythm are the best thing until medical professionals arrive. The degree to which the straws / shields help is minimal at best and actually detrimental at worst.

    Also, anyone reading this should get certified. In the US, it takes a couples hours in one day and lasts a year.
