Volunteers in Peter teach everyone to save people. On the windshield of his car in the lower right corner of the red cross pasted. On the seat lying reflective vest with “Lifeguard” reflective lettering. He adds: “This is my personal car. Just when something happens, people have to understand that I am not a casual person that I can trust. ”
Sasha Raevskii thirty, he – the anesthetist “emergency” brigade. Eighteen months ago, I conceived and organized social movement in St. Petersburg “Legion”, which teaches everyone to free first aid skills.
We go, and Sasha said that in order to save a person, you need to know a little bit. This “little” may well fit in a couple of two-hour lectures. But the average person these lectures in his life, as a rule, no. They simply have nowhere to take. And most of the time being it seems that chest compressions – it is rather stills of extremals and heroes, not the reality of everyday life. And then in front of you suddenly falls unconscious on the street people without safety vest, and the only tool in 98 cases out of 100 – a mobile phone in the hands trembling, to dial “fast”.
This pervasive helplessness Rajewski, bluntly, angry. “Most come to call on the accident, and the people stand around and shoot what is happening, and not even fit to person. Sometimes you just want to give in the face. ”
I imagine myself in the place of these people and I think that my personal awareness in the provision of first aid, such as zero. Strictly speaking, the criminal is zero. And like me, in the Russian majority.
Rajewski this trend is trying to break.
He remembers the first death. It was his first job – a male nurse in a city hospital, Peter. “They brought a guy with a crash. In the blood of the young. He tried to save, but he died. I remember it very well. I shook his death. ”
Death as a result of ignorance of others, he believes, is criminal. “I always say in the classroom, that even if you do not care about the fate of others, it can happen that would be bad your mom or baby. In your eyes, and the bill will go to the minutes. this is the argument works for many. ”
Rajewski after working as an orderly in the 17 years since this track and rolled. Then I worked as a nurse, paramedic teams “first aid”. He graduated from medical school, this year’s Medical University. Who runs internship while working anesthetist resuscitation team of “first aid”.
A bear began seven years ago knowledge of the masses. The university has become a co-author of Learning first aid skills project “Help yourself.” Together with friends organized a team and began to offer services to schools. Thus began the “blanket mailing” basic credo Rajewski – everyone should be able to use the chance to save a human life.
It turned out a lot of like-minded people. Now – the whole team. Eighteen months ago, there was “Legion” – a social movement.
targeted audience
Who would have thought that the basics of first aid should be taught to students of medical universities. It was found necessary. Because in the first two years it does not say anything educational program on how to save people.
Why read a lecture on first aid for children with cerebral palsy from correctional boarding school, is also not entirely clear. But the “legionnaire” Maya Rodionova me explains: “We have them, we cannot of course to learn to do heart massage practice, but they can remember it and tell us when you need it, to others. And we are working with them the ability to ask for help, to call the emergency services do not hesitate to shout if you want. Orem in training right along with them. We also terribly squeezed society, people with reflective tape often cannot even call for help, like as indecent. ”
Even their constant “customers” – students, bikers and firefighters.
Students – because life safety lessons (life safety fundamentals) about anything, but not about the skills, bikers – obvious clientele, and fire – too formal approach sacrifices. When the “legionnaires” firehouse management asked to conduct workshops, it became clear that teaching to extinguish the fire, firefighters not really taught to save the victims of the fires.
