I hope i pass

Today my Bronze medallion coach said that he has a 98% pass rate of his students so "whoever he fails... he really considers them a fail"
I really hope i pass
I just hope that for the ladder approach i won't have to carry a big heavy fat guy

ladder approach:
talk
throw
reach
wade
 row
swim
tow
carry

so it's from lowest risk to highest risk and you have to first say
HELLO HELLO CAN U SWIM BACK TO SHORE BY UR SELF
then
u throw the kick board halfway to the person and yell HELPP to the bystanders so that they can help u later
then JUMP ...SPLASH into the water and swim as fast as you can with the kickboard to the victim then u have to lie down on your back and scull with the board clinched to your feet, until the board touches the unconciscious victim's head
the reason you do that is because if they try to grab onto you they'll just grab onto your feet and not drown you
then if no response, you have to take their two arms and bring them back and hook your right arm between them and hold up their chin and head with your other hand, and eggbeater back to shore, where you do the uhhh what's it called ...where u bring the person out of the water
so first u tell ur bystander to put their arms under the victim's armpits and grab their wrists, pointing their elbows downwards (to prevent possiblity of dislocating a shoulder) then you tell the bystander to lift as hard as they can on the THIRD TAP
so u go under the victim and put their butt on your shoulder so they're like sitting on you at the shore, then reach up and tap the edge of the pool three times and LIFT the victim up onto the deck

then you start emergency crap like this:
-HELLO HELLO CAN U HEAR ME CAN U HEAR ME (no reply)
-then you say: YOU IN THE GREY SHIRT CALL 911 TELL THEM WE HAVE AN UNCONSCIOUS MALE VICTIM, REPORT BACK TO ME DO U UNDERSTAND?
- then lift their chin and put their forehead back to open airway, listen 10 SECONDS for breathing ( not breathing)
- give two breaths
- give 30 chest compressions at the rate of 100 compressions/ minute
- repeat until signs of life or "ambulance arrives"
- if victim vomits u have to bring one knee up and one arm up and turn them on their side, then "scoop up vomit" idk why u have to do that ew o.O
- then turn them back to the lying down position
- check for bereathing for another 10 sec.
if no breathing, repeat 2 breaths 30 compressions
if yes breathing, turn person on side and check for blood on body (do a full-body pat-down)


yeah thats about it
i need to remember all that and more for tmr :(
and not just remember I NEED TO DO IT TO BIG PEOPLE O.O FK
