My Hero Academia: CPR + BLS

You know, Pro-Hero is probably one of those professions where it's mandatory to know CPR and Basic Life Support. Because after the villain's been taken out or all the people have been evacuated from a disaster zone, the Pros and their sidekicks are definitely the first responders until the paramedics arrive on scene.

And the idea that Aizawa, Endeavor, Mirko, Best Jeanist, Hawks, Ryukyu, everyone has to re-certify every two years is really, really hilarious to me. It's just so absurdly mundane.

If your job doesn't require CPR certification, let me break this down for you: You sit for two hours give or take, watch a video that's you've probably seen before, maybe take a brief test, and demonstrate that you can in fact perform CPR on a mannequin as well show you can use an AED kit and maybe demonstrate the Heimlich maneuver, and then you wait for an email that has your certification cards. It's tedious and the information doesn't change very much, but it is essential to review, so you suck it up and you be as diligent as you can because there could absolutely come a day where you will be in an emergency situation and need to use these skills. Nonetheless, you really just want to get on with the written and practical tests and get out of there.

That said...Hawks is definitely an annoying prick who keeps asking questions just to purposefully draw out the session.

Kaminari would probably bring snacks, suddenly start choking, and become the unwitting live demonstration.

Iida studied beforehand, took notes throughout, and then got way too into the practical exam. (Because you are often acting out a simulation to prove you are adhering to proper safety measures.)

Mineta...can he even...?

Full disclosure: as some of you may already know by following my posts, I’m diagnosed with ASD1 (DSM-5). Please keep kindness and love in your minds and hearts that Autism Spectrum Disorder is, indeed, a spectrum. How ASD1 is expressed in my brain may be different than another person with ASD on any of the three levels.

With that being said, I have the HYPER-empathetic ASD, where it’s difficult for me to even see people getting hurt because I can physically FEEL that pain. My senses are usually dialed up to their max, which has caused lots of sensory processing difficulties.

‼️ ⚠️ Trigger warning for blood and injury ⚠️‼️

So imagine me right now, doing required leadership trainings where I am completing the full First Aid/CPR/AED courses, watching videos of people getting impaled through their eyes, hands, bodies, and leaking blood everywhere. Writing about it and seeing fictional cartoons is a LOT different; I can actually separate that pretty well. When it’s movies with real actors, that’s when I start to get queasy.

Yes, I know they’re fake. These people are actors. But damn….I’m still pale. These trainings are important to saving lives, but I sure as hell wanna vomit my guts out right about now. 🤢

…anyone got any cute duck photos? 🦆

Vampire Divorce Court - Nicotine is Not a Substitute for a Balanced Diet

I meant to post this last night and blanked. Now I'm furiously trying to push it out before I got to a CPR course that might ACTUALLY be legitimate this time!!!!

Book 1, Outside the detective’s apartment, Late night

It doesn’t matter how many cigarettes Barbie smokes, she never manages to kill the hunger gnawing at her insides. It’s both curse and miracle that the very thought of blood makes her too faint to act on any of the base impulses that consume her when it’s been too long since she last fed.

Even if it doesn’t stop her hunger, it does dull the burning need of it enough to help her think clearly. She takes her next drag slow, not wanting to rush through it. Nat had informed her that all of Unit Bravo was staying in Detective Kingston’s apartment as part of her protection. Nothing had been arranged for Barbie prior to her arrival. No one explicitly told her to stay out, but no one really has to either.

The detective is a bright young woman, clearly far too young to be in the sort of position she is now, but rising to the challenge well. She seems more resolved to stop Murphy than she is terrified of him at least. The little they managed to talk casually between discussing the case, Barbie had found Detective Kingston to be interesting, sweet, and determined. Spending more time with her would be a treat. Looking up, Barbie sees the detective moving around inside the apartment, the lights going out one by one. Sticking around to socialize wouldn’t do Barbie much good when she’ll. just be sleeping anyway.

Barbie had considered going back to the facility during her down time, but it’s far enough away to be untenable. If any developments happen, she wants to be close by to know about it.

Besides, night time gives her a special sort of clarity, as well as the excuse to work alone. As soon as she finishes her smoke, she’s going to go back to the various locations Kira had taken her to today to take more notes. Having the eyes of Unit Bravo on her, even at a distance, kept throwing her off the first time. She needs to be able to observe things unburdened.

Speaking of burdens, the hairs on the back of her neck raise, and she turns to see Commanding Agent Adam du Mortain staring at her. He looks exactly the same as he did the last time she spoke to him, right down to the pucker between his eyebrows and the frown carved into his face.

“What?” she asks, exhausted already. Adam steps closer, bulky, strong, and wearing his vampirism with a kind of confidence that Barbie suspects she never will.

“What you did today was foolish and will not happen again,” he barks. Barbie scoffs.

“What could I possibly have done to already set you off?” Barbie asks, flicking ash off the end of her cigarette. Adam steps closer, far too in her space in fact, so that she can smell him and hear his rushing pulse. Oh, he’s actually angry. Barbie takes a long drag off her cigarette.

“When is the last time you fed?” Adam demands.

Ah. Of course. Barbie resists blowing smoke in his face, turning her head instead.

“Recently enough that this will do the job to curb my hunger,” she says. Adam step close enough that she staggers back to avoid even the possibility of him touching her.

“That is not good enough. You cannot be alone with the detective when you’re on the verge of falling into blood lust.” He looks her over, each part of her that his gaze touches burning. She recoils away, further into the shadows even if it won’t stop him from seeing her.

“It’s been good enough so far,” Barbie snaps. “I wouldn’t be here if I thought or anyone at the Agency thought I couldn’t control myself. My appearance alone should make that clear.”

She isn’t trying to hide the bitterness in her tone, but she doubts she would have been able to even if she was. While she knows her mind is her greatest asset, she’s always valued her appearance as well. Her good looks have faded just as certainly as her humanity though, leaving her a dry, hollow husk of a person. She has to put lipstick and foundation on before going anywhere outside the Agency unless she wants people to stop her and offer to call an ambulance based on her pallor alone.

Adam looks gobsmacked, which would be satisfying in any other circumstance.

“You’re always like this?” he asks, gesturing to her.

“That should not surprise you in the least,” Barbie replies, pulling her coat more securely around herself, turning to look out at the gorgeous night sky. Stars are lovely and quiet.

It takes several moments, but Adam does eventually find a response. He chooses to give it in a tone that holds no anger, but Barbie doesn’t love the pity any more.

“You’ll have to move past this at some point,” he says, not for the first time. Barbie gives a hollow laugh.

“Well, seeing as I now have all the time in the world to do so, I’ll be doing it at my own pace,” she says sharply. Adam shakes his head.

“You’ll find this existence unbearably long until you make peace with it,” he says, then turns and marches away.

Each step echoes in her skull. She presses the heel of her palm against her forehead, closing her eyes. Why did she ever agree to come here? Sure, her supervisors had all heavily encouraged her to come, but she could have begged off. If she had, she would be back in the Marseilles facility, deep in the archives, working away on her latest project. Instead she’s far from home and surrounded by horrible reminders of a time she’d rather forget.

Well, she had given up on truly forgetting a long time ago. It’s her own fault that she has to remember any of this at all.

Heavy footsteps approach once more, and as frayed and hungry as she is, Barbie turns and snaps, “Oh for fucks’ sake, Adam, what now?”

Only it isn’t Adam standing in front of her. It’s Mason.

Her heart strangles in her throat, her every muscle seizing up. She hasn’t seen him in…so long. He looks the same. His hair is a little longer, his eyes a little more tired, but he even has the same jacket still. She drinks him in like he’s the only way to slake her thirst.

But then he starts looking at her too.

Panic flooding her, Barbie jerks herself around and shouts, “Don’t!”

There’s a beat, and then she hears her ex-husband’s voice for the first time in almost 50 years.

“Don’t what, Barbara?” Mason asks, a tremor in his voice. “What the fuck could you possibly accuse me of now?”

She shakes her head and says, “Don’t look at me.”

Another beat. Bewildered, Mason asks, “Why the fuck not?”

No words are forthcoming, there are too many reasons. She doesn’t want to ruin his mental image of her. She wants him to see her human, healthy, beautiful. She doesn’t want him to remember what it was like when she left. She doesn’t want to look in his eyes and see hurt or anger or disgust.

He scoffs. “Wow. Fucking fine.”

He leaves. The side door of the apartment building slams so hard she jumps.

Holding back tears, Barbie throws her cigarette down and crushes it with the toe of her high heel. She lets out a shaking breath and walks away, heading to where her car is still parked outside the police station. Of all the scenarios she’s imagined of her and Mason reuniting, this isn’t at all what she expected.

It wasn’t nearly as bad.

How Long Does CPR Certification Last & How Long Do BLS Certifications Last?

Introduction

In the realm of emergency preparedness, where mere seconds separate life from death, the power of knowledge reigns supreme. Among the most critical skills one can wield in times of crisis are those granted by CPR Certification and Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification. These esteemed credentials serve as proof that their bearers possess the training to intervene when fate wavers, standing resolute against the specter of peril. But how long do these certifications last before they must be renewed? How can one ensure their readiness remains steadfast? Journey with us as we unveil the lifespan of CPR Certification and BLS Certification, guiding you toward continued mastery in the art of lifesaving.

The Lifespan of CPR Certification

For those who have embarked on the noble path of acquiring CPR Certification, it is essential to recognize that these credentials do not last indefinitely. The wisdom imparted through CPR Classes must be refreshed periodically, ensuring that each rescuer remains proficient in the latest techniques and guidelines. Typically, CPR Certification is valid for two years from the date of issuance. This duration is established by leading organizations such as the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Red Cross, which uphold rigorous standards to ensure rescuers maintain peak efficiency.

As medical advancements refine the best practices for cardiac emergencies, these periodic renewals are crucial. Over time, new research may adjust chest compression depths, breathing techniques, or even the integration of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). By recertifying, individuals reaffirm their commitment to upholding the highest standard of care, ensuring that their knowledge does not grow stale in the face of evolving medical science.

The Importance of Renewing CPR Certification

To the uninitiated, the necessity of recertification may seem an inconvenience—a mere bureaucratic hoop to jump through. But to those who truly understand the gravity of CPR Certification, renewal is not just a requirement; it is a sacred duty. Every heartbeat is precious, and in the throes of an emergency, even a moment’s hesitation can be fatal. By staying up to date with CPR Classes, individuals fortify their skills, honing their instincts so that, when disaster strikes, they react without hesitation.

Moreover, many professions mandate current CPR Certification as a condition of employment. Healthcare providers, first responders, lifeguards, and even teachers are often required to present proof of active certification. Thus, allowing a certification to lapse may not only compromise one’s ability to save lives but also jeopardize one’s career aspirations.

The Lifespan of BLS Certification

While CPR provides fundamental life-saving skills for the general public, Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification is tailored for healthcare providers and emergency personnel. BLS Certification covers advanced techniques such as team-based resuscitation, airway management, and the appropriate use of medical equipment like bag-mask ventilators. As such, it demands a higher level of proficiency than standard CPR training.

Similar to CPR Certification, BLS Certification typically remains valid for two years. The guidelines for renewal are set forth by the same governing bodies, ensuring that healthcare professionals maintain their expertise in life-threatening scenarios. Given the rapid pace of medical advancements, it is paramount that those in the field of emergency medicine remain on the cutting edge, prepared to implement the latest and most effective resuscitation strategies.

How to Renew Your Certification

For those who seek renewal, the process is straightforward. Many institutions offer refresher courses that condense the essential knowledge of CPR Classes, ensuring that returning students can swiftly reaffirm their skills. If you find yourself in Salt Lake City, options abound for recertification. CPR Certification Salt Lake City provides comprehensive renewal programs that cater to both individuals and organizations, ensuring that every rescuer remains battle-ready.

The renewal process often includes:

A review of current CPR or BLS guidelines.

Hands-on practice with mannequins to reinforce muscle memory.

Assessment through a written test or skills demonstration.

For those whose certifications have lapsed significantly, a full-length course may be required rather than a simple renewal class. Thus, it is always wise to remain vigilant and renew before expiration.

The Consequences of Expired Certification

Allowing a CPR Certification or BLS Certification to expire is akin to sheathing a blade in the midst of battle. Without proper renewal, one risks losing the confidence and sharpness required to act decisively in an emergency. Furthermore, expired certification may render an individual unable to fulfill professional obligations, leading to potential job suspensions or even terminations in fields where current certification is mandatory.

But beyond these tangible consequences lies an even graver reality—the potential loss of a life that could have been saved. CPR and BLS training are not mere formalities; they are weapons against mortality itself. Each expired certification is a link in the chain of survival left weakened, a warrior unprepared to answer the call of duty.

Conclusion

To be certified in CPR or BLS is to bear the torch of hope in humanity’s darkest moments. Yet, even the most brilliant flames must be rekindled, lest they dwindle into obscurity. CPR Certification and BLS Certification remain valid for two years, after which they must be renewed to ensure that rescuers retain their vital expertise.

For those in Salt Lake City, numerous opportunities exist to maintain these life-saving credentials. CPR Certification Salt Lake City offers premier training courses, equipping individuals with the latest techniques and knowledge to meet the highest standards of emergency care.

Let not your certification lapse. Let not your skills fade. Stand ever vigilant, for you may one day be the difference between life and death. The power to save lives is not a gift—it is a responsibility, one that demands unwavering dedication. Rise to the occasion, and let your training endure as a testament to your readiness to serve and protect.

Call to Action

If your certification is nearing expiration, do not delay. Seek renewal through CPR Classes in your area or enroll in CPR Certification Salt Lake City for premier instruction. Stay sharp, stay trained, and above all—be prepared to answer the call when it comes. For when a life is on the line, there is no greater honor than to be the one who saves it.

While watching the latest episodes of TYBW, one detail caught my eye: the way that Rukia calls out the temperature as she lowers her body temperature. And when she does this, she uses…Celsius. Now, you might say that’s not too strange, all the reasonable countries use Celsius, but consider that Rukia is a near century old ghost, who before the series began hadn’t been to the living world since she died as a baby, and didn’t know how to use a straw when she first got there. So why would she use Celsius? And how does she know about Absolute Zero to the precise tenth of a degree?

Well, you might say, she did spend a few weeks in human High School, where she learned how to drink juice out of a box, and maybe she learned how to measure temperature there. And absolute zero is definitely a high school chemistry topic. But then I looked back and found…

…when Yamamoto used his bankai, he specifically mentions that it’s 15 million degrees (Celsius, presumably), aka the temperature of the core of the sun. (I looked it up, he says 15 million degrees specifically in the Japanese version too, so it’s not a translation thing)

Why does Yamamoto use Celsius??? He’s over a thousand years old, and a cursory google search shows that Anders Celsius, the inventor of the Celsius unit of measurement, lived in the 1700s. So Yamamoto must have picked it up sometime after then, but how? I find it hard to imagine that the Captain Commander himself ever goes to the living world short some major emergency like Aizen’s coup, and in that case when would he have time to catch up on the latest scientific advancements?

Perhaps the 12th Squad or some other squad (maybe Ukitake’s 13th?) that is more familiar with the living world holds regular seminars to update shinigami on the modern world? Does Yamamoto also attend occasionally? Or, is there some other way for the living world to seep in to the afterlife? Some subconscious transference that means shinigami and the citizens of Rukongai too, somehow gain knowledge of the living world through a kind of osmosis? Yhwach is able to absorb and redistribute knowledge, power, etc. of the Quincy, so perhaps the Soul King, being Yhwach’s father, has a similar ability?

Also, how does Yamamoto even know how hot he is? He probably hasn’t used this technique since the last time he fought Yhwach, which is definitely before the invention of Celsius degrees, and probably before humans measured the temperature of the sun. And I don’t think he’s the type to humor any 12th division offers to measure his temperature either. Maybe he just pulled the number out of his ass because it sounded cool, since if he really were the temperature of the sun, Seireitei would probably be literal ash.

Anyways to summarize, here are the theories:

1. That Rukia or some low level shinigami went to the human world and learned about this cool new way of measuring temperature, and the knowledge somehow filtered up to Yamamoto (though I wouldn’t put it past, say, Ukitake to bring it up in a meeting sometime)

2. That Celsius degrees were invented separately in Soul Society, and they also discovered absolute zero

3. That somehow the knowledge filtered in to soul society through osmosis, maybe through recently deceased human souls, or through some other mysterious soul king related metaphysics.
