Subject: Dinner & a short emergency response course in Toronto, Canada
CRYONICS EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING
On Sunday, January 22, 1998 there will be a 4-hour training in
cryonics emergency response in Toronto, Canada. The course will run from
approximately 1 p.m. to 5 or 6 p.m. The course will have both practical
and cognitive aspects. Cognitive training will address issues such as
preventing sudden death, responding to sudden death and the importance
of preventing ischemic injury in all forms of death. Practical training
will include CPR and perhaps some scenario practice with a portable ice
bath (PIB).
There will be no monetary charge for attending this course, but
a Cdn$50 deposit is required in advance of the date of the course. The
deposit will be refunded in person to all those who actually attend.
There will be no refund to those who do not attend. Registration will
be limited to the first 10 people to send the deposit -- other deposits
will be refunded by mail. (Use accompanying application form.)
The course will be taught by Ben Best, who is President of the
Cryonics Society of Canada. Ben is a registered CPR instructor with the
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario as well as a registered First Aid
Instructor with the Canadian Red Cross Society. Ben has attended two
cryonics Transport Training courses, one at Alcor in 1991 and one at
BioPreservation in 1996, both supervised by Mike Darwin.
LIFE EXTENSION/CRYONICS DINNER
On Sunday, January 18th at 18:30 (6:30 pm) in Toronto. This is
a chance for people interested in all forms of Life Extension (including
Cryonics) to get-together and discuss their views and experiences. There
is no formal presentation or start time.
Tables are reserved under the name Ben Best, but people are invited
to arrive beginning at 6:30 p.m. We will probably still be talking at
9 p.m., so 8 p.m. would not be too late to arrive. Very inexpensive
vegetarian dishes can be ordered at the counter and brought to the table
(cafeteria-style). Or, people can simply buy a glass of juice and join
in the discussion. This is a non-smoking event. Drop-in and chat!
Bring your friends!
