Brother, I Feel Your Pain

TOTWTYTR experiences just a bit of frustration with his craptastic user-friendly AHA Instructor update:

The software also seems to have erased all record of me sitting through your fifth grade level course as well. I mean, how many freaking times are you going to tell me that there isn’t a lot of evidence to support something but that we should do it anyway? I get it, really I do. Your fantastic medical review committees are grasping around for evidence that anything other than chest compressions and electricity lead to survival much as a blind squirrel hunts around for acorns. I don’t need 100 slides to tell me that, one or two will suffice. At least it’s simple enough that I can blog, read my email, and watch TV while your slides and audio run in the back ground.

“Fifth grade level course.”

Heh.

Actually, since all the American Heart Association has required of its instructors for the past 10 years is a functioning brainstem and an index finger to press the PLAY button*, I’d say fifth grade level courses are shooting a bit high.

* That’s for instructors only. Student requirements for successful course completion are a good deal less stringent.
