Not quite First Aid but First front line intubation. Having successfully intubated 25 people in the Operating theatre, my First Front Line intubation. The patient was arrested and obviously not breathing. My intervention included intubation which I felt quite confident about ..HOWEVER the patient's large, black,newfoundland dog thought I was playing and mounted me and proceeded to 'make love to me' !!! This made intubation of patient quite difficult. It was never like that in the operating theatre!

Thats nothing pal. We know a nurse who intubated using a garden trowel and a length of hosepipe whilst being mounted by a whole pack of Newfoundlands, and as usual she got the tube down first time. I was mistaken in thinking the episode took place in Teneriefe. It was actually Eleveneriefe because that is one better...............

Was that the nurse whose qualification was a St John's Home Nursing certificate?

If you asked her very carefully its perhaps the reality of it!

Ref RETIRED's post, I once abandoned a patient and ran out of the door when an 11 foot Python/Boa type snake decided to slither over the back of the sofa to come and see what was happening with its unconcious human parent. Few things scare me, but snakes do! Fortunately for the patient, the ambulance backing me up had a girl on board who kept snakes and she just picked it up and put it in its vivarium. I swear it was sizing me up for its next meal.
