Today I did a little presentation at the Daeyang Luke Korean hospital - I spoke on Swine flu (H1N1). My only claim to expertise is that I have seen some cases! But I did spend a lot of time on preparedness for any overwhelming disaster - whether it is a pandemic, a huge RTA (road traffic accident) or an industrial accident. There is pretty much no 'OSHA' here, so working conditions can be pretty scary. The hospital is located close to the government granaries, and to a large conglomeration of tobacco storehouses, handling areas, etc. Anyway, it seemed to go well, with some questions asked at the end. Then the presentations for the CPR classes were given out. Fortunately, Jose did NOT have to give out the certificates - he was recognized as the instructor, and we took pictures at the end, but he was concerned about pronouncing their names - some are pretty easy, others not so much! Even the presenter had trouble with some of the names. Here are a few photos - Jose with some of the CPR students and their certificates, me in front of the class, and the flags in front of the hospital. The two little guys in the foreground were calling 'Azungu, azungu' to Jose (white person, white person).
