He also gave us a crash course on CPR, himlick maneuver and using a defibulator machine.  Anne Whalen did a great job administering CPR to the “dummy”  Key points, always make sure it’s safe for you, always ask someone with you to call CPR and make sure they respond and say “yes” as sometimes people panic, freeze and don’t follow through with calling 911 in an emergency.  Every second matters when someone is not breathing.
