Andy, Did you take it out of personal interest to grow or was it occupational prompting? It sounds like a very interesting training.
Congrats!

I take it that now you've been through the course, you thought it was a well taught course? Looks like you took the provider/enhanced version? Any highlights?

I was *fortunate* enough to get to practice on newly dead pigs.
My instructors did not worry about where the intestines, bladder and colon were in the pig when they decided to slash/stab it in the gut!
What a mess, I wish fake blood was all I had to deal with lol. It's also quite awkward to put a tourniquet on a pig.

Thanks for posting. Realistic, professional, scenario based training is invaluable to getting skills burnished into memory. Looks like it was an awesome event.
