I'd like to learn. Do we get to use the cool CPR dummies?

From:

xp_blink

please, do not insult Chad.

From:

xp_echo

Poor Chad. Always suffering from broken ribs/having to deal with people's bad breath.

From:

xp_blink

it's a hard life, being a test dummy

From:

xp_darcy

I'll be there with my rib-breaking playlist ready, and maybe we can talk about me doing a legit First Responder course and working on ACLS?

From:

xp_blink

this is CPR recert, but that's required as a prereq, so I'll get the rest set up. you looking to go full EMT, counselor?

From:

xp_darcy

Not necessarily but it'd be fucking handy on missions sometimes. And post-shit show when we need another useful set of hands.

From:

xp_blink

that's how I got started.

be careful, it's a slippery medical slope. and honestly, we need nurses more than we need emergency triage these days

From:

xp_darcy

I mean I'm not going back to school for a few years to get a nursing license but I'm always willing to learn new things that'll help out. I know I learned a little helping Collins out, but that was basically just some advanced first aid and shit that needed two hands.

From:

xp_blink

lol fair. but she was no nurse.

From:

xp_darcy

No, but I did learn a little triage type stuff being her extra hands those few months. If there's something between full nursing and just first aid, maybe that'd work. But uuuuuugh competing to get into nursing school knowing I'm not going to be using it except here.

From:

xp_blink

that's a CNA combined with EMT basically. or maybe a tech

From:

xp_darcy

We'll talk about it, figure out some sort of useful plan then. You know me, I like being useful.

From:

xp_blink

you are ADHD on uppers.

this is why you have 18 boyfriends

From:

xp_darcy

Focus, determination, and a healthy dose of insomnia, baybeeeeee.

From:

xp_blink

you are insane in the best way.

From:

xp_darcy

you're a flatterer :D

From:

xp_blink

gets me everywhere

From:

xp_darcy

I thought that was your awesome portals. Air Clarice, nearly instant.

From:

xp_blink

well, everywhere my portals can't

From:

xp_hawkeye

Yeah, I'll come in. Is it just CPR or BLS, too? Either way, I'm down, I'm just curious.

From:

xp_blink

just CPR coming up, but we can set up BLS, too if there's interest. your Meggans are certified now.

From:

xp_hawkeye

Sounds good. I can use the recert and refresh, since it's been a minute since I've doing field medic stuff.

From:

xp_blink

absolutely. it's easy for most teams to just call me, but your wormhole doesn't play by my rules

From:

xp_wildchild

I'm certified b/c of the teacher's union doing a thing but if you want a helper and bringer of the extra-toothy-proof-mask I'm in.

From:

xp_blink

absolutely. we have quite a few people needing recertification in the next few months, so it was a good idea to just do it all at
once

From:

xp_dominion

Already did mine a couple of months ago through the Bureau. But let me know if you need any help.

From:

xp_blink

well, aren't you fancy?

thanks!

From:

xp_dominion

Nah, just work a government job that tells me when and not if I have to do this stuff.

From:

xp_blink

like, I get you have a non-X job. but it's so weird

From:

xp_daytripper

I"m probably due a refresh as well. Healing magic doesn't do any good if the person isn't breathing*.

*(Especially when I'm somewhere where the city isn't talking to me)
