This. Teaching “Family & Friends CPR for the layman, is something I enjoy doing for this reason alone. The more who know how to recognize the symptoms and act fast, the better. There is no certification at the end, though it is super informational and the cost is minimum in comparison to the traditional heartsaver course. The resources are all AHA so the gold standard is there! I beg of anyone to push for these, you can work them into more than the average individual may realize; They make for effective team dynamics exercises for work. Mom/parent group meet ups? Book a local instructor. You could find an amazingly engaging instructor (cough cough wink) and host one at your next family reunion. Practical baby shower addition for the friends and family. I have taught this course for all of the above and more. Family & friends is a cost effective AHA curriculum course and it teaches the basics of hands only CPR. Almost ANYONE can save a life. But most importantly, #educationsaveslives

Why is it that pediatric patients get to choose from the treasure chest when they complete something difficult or scary? Or, they receive a sticker at the end of their appointment? Yet, adult patients get nothing more than “your good to go” and maybe, “schedule your next appointment on your way out”? I recently completed my yearly breast exam. It was very uncomfortable, even painful. As I was leaving I felt in need of a sticker. Something that said “be kind to me, I got my mammogram today” with a fitting hashtag like #WomensHealthMattets or #BreastCancerAwareness or #SaveTheTatas, anything that symbolize my bravery and the importance of yearly mammograms. Instead, I walked out with nothing. No words of comfort, no good job, no sticker, just sore breasts and feeling violated. I propose that all medical establishments have a treasure chest and fill it with age and specialty appropriate goodies. Children aren’t the only ones who go through difficult and scary procedures. Every now and then we adults need to be rewarded for our bravery as patients. These treasure box items could be great tools to increase awareness on significant public health issues. They could also serve as a way to address the needs of patients living in under resourced communities like food deserts. I challenge all medical professionals to think about adult patient specific treasure boxes. #ThisIsPublicHealth
