There’s no safe place on the body to stab someone

Whoa!  Huh?  Say what?

There’s no safe place on the body to stab someone was the response from Michael, a 16 year old who’d just received first aid training for stab wounds.  In Liverpool, England gang members are being taught first aid as part of rehabilitation course for kids involved in knife and gun crime.

Perspective.  It’s such a slippery thing.  We think we’ve got it and then bang, someone hits you upside the head … or stabs you in the back.

It took the first aid course for Michael to truly, really, deeply consider that it makes you think because you realize you can kill someone really easily with a knife.

Michael says the course changed me life.

What a wonderful thing.  A new perspective = a new life.
