I have to post a question that was asked recently in a first aid class. First, I have to say that I know the instructor that was teaching the class. I am an instructor Trainer for the Red Cross in our area and speak with instructors on a regular basis.

Ok, that being said here is the question she received. "If you have an unconscious person having a diabetic emergency, won't it help them to stick a Snickers bar up their butt?" Ofcourse, my first reaction was this student wasn't serious. The instructor said not only was she serious but the student argued the point that this would help. My next question was "Has she done this?" Thank God the answer was no.

There is no accounting for some people in this world. Oh, by the way the instructor was teaching at a lab.

I'm surprised someone actually suggested that might help. Even if by some off chance it did, the liability issues are huge. I'm going to check with one of my law enforcement buddies but doing such a thing might even get you sexual assault.

Kinda makes you wonder how good they would be at first aid? Will ask that question next time I teach a class and see what kind of reaction I get. lol
