mouth to mouth
I have to give props to Carlos.
After seeing what Benigna looked like after getting smashed by the truck, he still went in for the mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Much more terrifying than a boy with a burlap sack.
Ha...I thought the same thing
shareYes, I thought that was a really stupid scene. What was he blowing into?! Her entire lower jaw was off!!
There is a way to provide CPR to a person who has suffered extensive injuries to the mouth/nose area.
You use your hand to cover the "holes" --so Carlos had to make a cup with his hand to seal the place where the jaw had been.

Space For Sale.
And you honestly think someone is going to do that?
shareYou'd be surprised how far someone will go to save somebody.
Wouldn't you do it if it was a family member? Someone you loved?
My friend's father was working in construction when a co-worker of his was smashed up pretty bad by some falling cement, causing the man's face to be disfigured, along with blood---and he (my friend's father) gave him CPR. He said it was pretty gross 'cause he got blood all over his face and in his mouth---but did what he had to do to save him.
Unfortunately, the man ended up brain dead, and his family pulled the plug a few days later.
But the POINT is---when in the moment, there are alot of people who are willing to do even the most digusting things to save someone's life. Not sure if I'd have the guts to do it lol but there are still many that would.

People who would rather let a person die than risk getting a little blood in their mouth/face should be shot.
The only excuse would be fear of HIV or hepatitis.
That is EXACTLY my worry. Though, recently I took a class on HIV/AIDS, and I discovered there is a 25 day window after being exposed to HIV/AIDS before you fully contract the disease. You have to let someone know immediately, of course, and the precautions will be taken just in case the person did have HIV/AIDS. It takes a year before they stop the medications to make sure you don't have HIV. Though, nothing is 100%, so it still is a possibility you can contract HIV even after all the precautions in that 25-day window. The likelihood of that happening is minimal, though.
As far as Hepatitis or any other STI, I don't know So that is something to think about.

I really hope you never become a doctor. :P "Ew, that's not a clean wound, I'm not going to try to help her!"
Wounds in reality aren't always going to be pretty, a person who requires CPR isn't always going to be lying on the ground all clean and lovely looking.

Be aware there are people who faint by seeing the slightest amount of blood.
It's a psychological thing. I know somebody who has this.
These people mean no harm.. they can't help it.
