When we all leave for our graves, what will be left for our children?

Just my 3 cents about today's First Aid Duty @ Chinese Garden..

First of all, some cadets' shirts were not tucked in and some were dragging their footwear. Most of us should have known that teen triathlete Thaddeus Cheong died of heart failure. He collapsed at the finish line. Though he had a weak pulse after he collapsed, he died at the hospital, so there should always be cadets at the finishing line to look out for casualties. I was also a casualty in case you guys didnt know, I was so dehydrated and you guys didnt know. There was a casualty at the finishing line, he vommited and luckily there were first aiders at the finishing line at that time.

Points to note when going for First Aid Duty:

Check if the supplies in each and every first aid kit and box are sufficient.
DONT EVER USE THE SUPPLIES IN THE DEMO FIRST AID KIT!! THE SUPPLIES INSIDE HAVE EXPIRED AND ARE ONLY USED FOR TEACHING, NOT FOR ACTUAL USE!!
