It just shows how hard to do it is when you are ACTUALLY in the situation to me. We all know how things should be done, doesn't mean you would definitely do it when you're in that situation. For example, I have taken loads of first aid courses over the years and when I was a nanny had to do a fairly intensive paediatric one. However when my son was 2 he choked on a piece of bread, I'm talking properly choking in a restaurant. I knew I had to get that piece of food dislodged, I even knew the best way to do it....but I froze. Only momentarily and a lady at another table stepped up. I had all the knowledge but in the moment I didn't do what I should have done. That's just being human and flawed.
