English Paramedic Demo at the JEF Stadium

Hi there!!

Today I helped with a demo at the Fukuda Denshi Arena in Chiba. The paramedic students in Japan are doing their best to learn more English ready for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, so we did a demo of a Japanese paramedic crew helping someone at the Olympics in English. The scenario was my wife (played by a medical dummy!) had severe heat stroke, passed out, then went into cardiac arrest. We did the demo on a stage in the arena, and it was filmed for the local news (should be on tonight!!).

I arrived at 7 am to run through the demo with the team. It felt great to be let loose in an empty stadium!!

So this is what a footballer sees as he goes out onto the pitch!!!

The team came from all over Japan for the demo today. So, most of us were meeting for the first time. But the demo went well, and I was really impressed with how professional they are.

Then some of the football players came out with the mascot which was great!!

Anyway, thats all for now!!
