According to the National Safety Council (nsc.org), “25% of emergency room visits could be avoided if people knew basic first aid and CPR.”
It is more than likely that everyone will find him or herself in a situation that could be benefited by first aid training. If first aid is not all the treatment a person needs, it will help until professional care can be administered. NSC describes first aid as “the difference between life and death, between temporary and permanent disability, between rapid recovery and long hospitalization.”
