Re: Stop the Bleed

There is a national educational group for oldsters called OASIS. Although the computer system is screwed up, it is currently offering classes on Zoom. On Tuesday, I took a Stop The Bleed class for free on Zoom. The instructor was from Cedars Sinai Hospital.
The immediate prior class was on falls.
I also took a Zoom class on CPR.
My complaint about the Red Cross is that I had to pay for classes. It would have been nice for the organization to have given a free class for each pint of blood. I have already donated more than 60 pints. Next date is August 21st.
I have never been a first responder. However, I have used CPR and Heimlich to save others and would hope that the classes be taught in high schools.
