I just learned how to use a defibrillator!
To be more precise, I gained a qualification in the use of an AED, an Automated External Defibrillator. It is so automated that actually I think a monkey could use one, but as a monkey can't do CPR (their mouths are the wrong shape), I am one up!
The AEDs are units that can be used by non-medical personnel and that a lot of public places in Japan have scattered about. The school is going to buy one and there is already one at the uni. It only became legal for normal people to learn how to use them this year.
It was a good refresher course for my first aid though, must be a good ten years or so since I did my first aid badge at scouts!
