This really hit home.
A man collapsed from cardiac arrest after his morning jog.
What saved him?
Not luck.
Not coincidence.
It was neighbours who knew first aid and stayed with him doing CPR until SCDF arrived. He survived and is now discharged.
This is why first aid matters.
Cardiac arrest doesn’t wait for an ambulance. The first few minutes belong to the people around you: neighbours, colleagues, friends, strangers.
And in this case, they knew what to do.
We see this all the time in our classes. People come in thinking,
“I hope I’ll never need to use this.”
But when something happens, you don’t rise to the occasion,
you fall back on your training.
You don’t need to be a healthcare worker to save a life. You just need the right skills. Look for STC Institute of Learning, we will solve that for you.
