Primum non nocere

Primum non nocere

 

A body at rest

Tends to stay at rest

A body in motion

Tends to stay in motion

 

My body is not at rest

 

For every action

There is an equal and opposite

Reaction

 

I am an actor

Surrounded by actors

We are always acting

 

There are three basic rules:

The bleeding always stops;

If it looks bad, it is; and

If you drop the baby

Pick it up

 

Hello?

Can you hear me?

 

Stop, drop and roll

Look, listen and feel

 

Fifteen chest compressions

At a rate of 100 per minute:

One and two and three and four and

 

A body at rest

Tends to stay at rest

 

My body is not at rest

My body tends to stay in motion

 

We lose heat quickly

In cold water

 

Hypothermic people have difficulty

Thinking clearly

 

May I have a black iced tea, please?

No sweetener

Thanks

 

Drown-proofing is mostly a matter of

Relaxing

Discovering and accepting

My natural buoyancy

Even if that means floating

Below the surface

 

I am floating below the surface and

I

see

sunlight

up

there

 

If I push the water toward my feet

I’ll move upward, head-first

My lips will break the

Surface of the water and

I will breathe

 

A body at rest tends to stay at rest

I am relaxed; I am c-c-c-calm

 

Baby, baby, are you okay?
