(Robinson) – Crawford Memorial Hospital will be offering a series of life-saving classes, free of charge, this Thursday. According to CMH General Surgeon, Dr. Preston Reilly, a person can bleed to death in fewer than 8 minutes. However, learning a few simple techniques can mean the difference between life and death. Thursday, or national “Stop the Bleed Day,” CMH will be offering several free training sessions that are open to the public. Dr. Reilly, says, these classes are designed for people without any medical training and will empower those that attend, so they know what to do when the unthinkable happens. The first session begins at 9 am. For more information, or to register, contact CMH.
