NOTES of a NOMAD #317 -70 Years of First Aid -15 March 2026.

I took my first First Aid course in 1956. I just took another one in 2026.

What a difference 70 years makes.

From basic care to CPR, AEDs, EpiPens, and opioid overdose response—First Aid has evolved in incredible ways.

Different tools. Same mission: help someone when every second counts.
