[Everything doTERRA] Suturing class in Utah

I received this email telling about a class to learn how to suture.
Thought someone else might be interested, also. Notice the doctor
will talk about what essential oils to use to numb.
Hmmmmmm......could that be Clove?


Subject: Suturing class opportunity, with more info.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn a skill that might be needed
at some
point in your lives. If you are interested, please contact Alisa
Morford
directly, her email is alisamorford@gmail.com and her phone number is
801-405-6803.


Here is the info on the class: (please read both parts)

Friends,
My midwife, Heather Shelley, is fund raising for opening a birthing
center in
Haiti. She and her colleagues are teaching various classes for a fee
as part of
this fund raising. One of those classes is suturing, or sewing up
wounds. If you
are interested in learning this skill, I would be happy to host the
class.

The cost is $40 per person and all proceeds go to the birthing center
in Haiti.
Please let me know if you are interested in this opportunity and I
will schedule
it with them.
Suturing would be a very important skill in situations where emergency
crews are
not available to deal with injuries. For example, it is probable that
in a major
earthquake those of us in outer-lying areas would not see emergency or
medical
help for a period of weeks or months...if ever. To be able to close a
wound,
that might otherwise cause a person to bleed to death or host a life-
threatening
infection, would be a lifesaving skill.
Feel free to forward this on to those you think might be interested in
this
opportunity!

Thank you all for your interest in the suturing class! The idea that
we can help
women in Haiti and prepare ourselves to be more self-sufficient at the
same time
is fantastic.
My desire here is to answer some questions and give us all a better
understanding of how this class will be run.
First of all, we each will be bringing our own piece of raw meat to
practice on.
A chicken breast will do fine! ;)

Secondly, the class will be approximately two hours long with more
time for
practice if that is necessary. The first hour is lecture, or teaching,
while the
second (or more) hour is for practice on our piece of meat with the
supervision
and help of the doctor teaching the class. Another topic that will be
covered is
what essential oils with numb wounds in the event that there is no
lidocaine or
topical anesthetics available.
Also, all you will need for the class (besides your meat) is a needle
holder
which can either be found at a medical supply store or you may
purchase one at
the class. Suture removal kits will also be available for purchase.
This class
includes the cost of one suture.
Lastly, if you AND a friend sign up for the class, you and they can
receive
admission for $35 instead of the original $40.
I am creating a list of each of you who have expressed interest in the
class and
will contact you directly for final specifics on location and time.
