I started a four-day course on medical rescue and emergency treatment.
Today's session was dedicated to intravenous administration of drugs and airway management (ABC protocol)
Administration of medicine part was fun, put training dummies on a drip was going super easy and I had a chance to use a make large bore IV access with a drill:

Later I trained putting laryngeal mask airway nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airway, yet again, easy and quick stuff to learn.
The struggle started with intubating a phantom (dummy) under a control of laryngoscope.
Damn endotrachial tube didn't want to slip between vocal cords and time after time went straight to the esophagus.
Finally, I intubated the motherfucking dummy right, in 1 minute, 20 seconds.
The instructor asked me if I wanted to repeat the process. I said "Yeah, man."
At the same moment another instructor joined and said "I bet it's (the tube) gonna go to the esophagus"
I answered "you wanna bet."
He cockily responded "Sure. 100 Polish złotys" (21-24 dollars, approximately)"
"Deal"
And I succeeded. What's more, I beat my personal record and intubated a dummy in 43 seconds.
The betting instructor shut up and handed me a 100 PLN banknote.
Fucking win.
How many ITcucks or Chads can handle unconscious bastard almost dying from hypoxia and bring him back to life?
