How do you think of my first-aid teacher? Good or bad?
I am 23, male, gay. I enrol in a St. John First-Aid Certificate course in Hong Kong. I don't like the first-aid teacher. She always yells at us in the class, especially when we are...

As someone with family involve in St John Ambulance, I find the instructor's behaviour very strange, in fact I would say, from what you write, totally unacceptable.

I have no problem learning something from someone who is qualified no matter their age.

Being a good instructor though is more than knowing the technique and how to teach it, it is how to handle people who are more skeptical than...

I know CPR and First Aid teaches that you should hold the burn under cool water for 15 minutes or until cool and relieved, however, I have found that using hot water to combat heat burns not only relieves pain faster(even though it causes ALOT...

I have never heard of that. Heat causes vasodilation, which lets more blood rush to the area, cold causes vasoconstriction which causes less blood to flow to the affected area, which should cause less pain.
