DON’T MISS THE PREMIERE EVENTS OF THE RESIDENT & 9-1-1 SEPTEMBER 23RD & 24TH ON FOX

This post is sponsored by FOX and SheKnows Media.

 

Last week I had a chance to attend an event held by SheKnows Media and FOX showcasing the 2-Night Premiere of 9-1-1 on September 23rd and 24th at 9/8c and The Resident on September 24^th at 8/7c only. The Mom to the Rescue event also included a 101 CPR refresher class and short clips from The Resident and 9-1-1.  I have to say both shows look really good and if you like dramas with some romance thrown in you are probably going to like both FOX shows! I was impressed with the caliber of actors in the shows as well. Long gone is the stigma about movie stars doing T.V. shows. The quality of the shows and writing is that good to garner such actors as Angela Bassett (Athena Grant), Peter Krause (Bobby Nash) and Jennifer Love Hewitt in 9-1-1 and Bruce Greenwood as Dr. Randolph Bell, Melina Kanakaredes as Dr. Lane Hunter and Matt Czchury as Dr. Conrad Hawkins in The Resident.

 

9-1-1

9-1-1 explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders — including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers — who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives. The show draws from real-life, high-pressure experiences of first responders who face heart-stopping situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time. The clips we saw definitely had us on the edge of our seats.  Filled with real-life situations, you get drawn into the situation at-hand and feel the tension the responders must feel when coming upon medical emergencies.  I don’t know how these folks do it in real life as they are faced with life-threatening situations daily! They truly are heroes in my book!

 

 

 

We saw a clip of Angela Bassett welcoming Jennifer Love-Hewitt to Season Two of 9-1-1. I love the emphasis on the relationships between the characters with a little medical intrigue as well.  I love shows that I come away from learning something new like I did when I watched HOUSE, but the drama is what kept me coming back for more!

 

 

The Resident

The Resident premieres on Monday, September 24th at 8:00 pm on FOX starring Bruce Greenwood as Dr. Randolph Bell, Melina Kanakaredes as Dr. Lane Hunter and Matt Czchury as Dr. Conrad Hawkins.  The Resident is a medical drama which centers on an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day under the supervision of a tough, brilliant senior resident who pulls the curtain back on all of the good and evil in modern day medicine. Full of drama and romantic relationships – the romance between Nic and Conrad just might become your favorite new pair to watch!

“Less than perfect CPR saves lives.”

CPR Training Tips

Richard Pass, R.N., B.S. from Save a Little Life offered us some really amazing First-Aid and CPR tips.  The last time I took CPR was back in college because of my summer job of life-guarding.  One of my first jobs while in high school and throughout college was as a lifeguard so I was pretty knowledgeable about CPR even though that was moons ago.  And to be honest, it has become much simpler for people to learn how to administer CPR to infants, toddlers on up.

 

Here are some of the most crucial tips he provided us:

All caregivers including parents, grandparents and nannies should take a CPR course.

With pediatric CPR, most times we are able to revive them.

The purpose of CPR on adults is to be the oxygen and blood bridge from the heart to the brain until paramedics arrive or they are transported to the hospital.  Most adults who need CPR are due to heart attacks.  And 88% of the time it will be an adult family member we perform CPR on.

Risk of choking can be minimized by avoiding feeding children in the car – especially if they are in a rear-facing seat. And avoid feeding them while they are running around.  He advises parents to make sure their young children sit and eat to minimize the risk of choking.

For more information about CPR and what to do in an emergency go to The National CPR Foundation.
