Didn't bother me at all actually for some reason, other than it being generally not nice, and having my family with me at the time.
I guess that's the benefit of being trained; you now you did as much as you could have (assuming you didn't fick it up of course). And that's about the 5th death I've been involved with, and each seems less shocking, though it probably depends a lot on the circumstances. This was an old woman, and it was a bit of a case of her time being due. Prob would have been less easy with a kid being run down or similar.
Took the ambulance 40 mins to arrive though, which was a long time I can tell you.
Anyway, I'd definitely say do a course - must be awful not to be standing around helpless, especially if it's someone you know.
