Hey everyone! 👋⛑️Turning fear into courage. Come join me!❤️ I'm Jakub, a nurse with over 15 years in healthcare. Right now, I work in the ICU at Motol and Homolka University Hospital in Prague, where we fight for stroke patients' lives every single day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why did I start RESCUER ACADEMY? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because I truly believe anyone can save a life. You don't need to be a doctor or have special gear. You just need the right knowledge, courage, and to know what to do in those first crucial minutes. I see it every day in the ICU – patients who get good first aid have a much better chance of getting their lives back. Those who don't? Often, they're not so lucky. That's why I built this place. To turn fear into courage – together. I want to give you simple, practical tools that actually work in real situations. No fluff, no theory you'll never use. Just what you actually need to know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📋 Here's what you'll find: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🧠 FAST test – Spot a stroke early 🌀 Epilepsy – First aid during a seizure 🦴 Spinal injuries – What NOT to do at an accident 🧠 Head injuries – Bump or life-threatening? ❤️ Heart attack – When the heart cries for help ⚡ AED – A miracle box you can use too 🫀 CPR – When the heart stops, your hands decide ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And way more coming soon! 🚀 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔁 Your challenge: Jump in with me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This community is nothing without you. It's built by people who want to be ready when it counts.

When the heart stops, your hands decide 🫀🆘 The ambulance is on its way – but it might arrive too late. Your hands can save a life right now. Here's what you need to know. Picture this: You're walking down the street and someone collapses in front of you. They're on the ground, not moving, not responding. What's your first move? 🆘 Most people freeze, grab their phone, and call emergency. That's good – but by the time help arrives (usually 7–10 minutes), it's often too late. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why I'm writing this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👨‍⚕️ I work in the Stroke Center at Motol and Homolka University Hospital in Prague. We don't usually get patients after resuscitation, but sometimes a stroke patient has a cardiac arrest right in our unit. When that happens, they get CPR within seconds – we're trained for it. That's why I know how critical it is for ordinary people to be ready too. Before the ambulance gets there, it's all on you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two patients, two outcomes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👨 David, 52 – Collapsed during a run. His buddy started CPR immediately while someone else called emergency. Ambulance arrived in 8 minutes, but David's heart was already beating thanks to those compressions. Today, he's back to jogging – grateful his friend didn't panic. 👴 František, 70 – Collapsed at dinner. His wife called for help but was too scared to do CPR – she didn't want to hurt him. The ambulance came in 9 minutes. It was too late. Broken ribs heal. Death doesn't. ❓The difference? Your hands. And the guts to use them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📋 How to do CPR (the ABCD approach) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

📋 FAST test: How to spot a stroke in 60 seconds and save a life 🧠⏱️ I'm standing next to a woman who's having a stroke right now. Would you recognize it? 🧠⏱️ She's smiling, but her smile is crooked – the left corner of her mouth is drooping. She raises her arm, but her right arm hangs like a rag doll. She tries to say something, but only nonsense sounds come out. This woman could be your grandmother, your neighbor, or maybe your mom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why I'm sharing this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👨‍⚕️ I work in the Stroke Center at Motol and Homolka Hospital in Prague. Every day I see what stroke does to patients and their families. I started this Skool community to spread awareness and save lives together. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two stories, two endings: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👨 Josef, 68 – His wife recognized the FAST test from a Facebook article. She called emergency within 5 minutes of the first symptoms. Today, Josef is home, walking, talking, and watching his grandkids. 👵 Eva, 72 – Her family waited to see if it would "pass." The ambulance arrived 3 hours later. Today, Eva is in a long-term care facility, dependent on others for help. She'll never hug her grandkids the way she'd want to. ❓ The difference? Time. And knowing the FAST test. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📋 THE FAST TEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🧠 F – Face - What to do: Ask them to smile - What to look for: Is the smile symmetrical? Is one corner drooping? - ⚠️ Even slight asymmetry can be a sign 💪 A – Arms - What to do: Ask them to raise both arms in front of them - What to look for: Does one arm drift down? Do they struggle to hold it up? - ⚠️ Test each arm separately
