I was debating about evaluating a video of an ACL surgery, but then decided it would be too drastic for some people to watch. So, I chose a video that demonstrates how to perform CPR. Learning CPR is one of the first things a medical student must learn for their future career. I will have to learn it eventually, so I figured I would gain a little head start.
This speech doesn’t have a clear introduction and conclusion. He starts by talking about warning signs and when to assess the patient. He gives background information which was helpful. Throughout the speech, he explained the steps clearly and precisely. He used terms the audience can understand so that someone who isn’t a doctor can perform CPR. His visual aid was obviously the dummy. He also had an assistant who really didn’t do much except stand there.
His voice was monotone, which made it a tad boring at times. He wasn’t very enthusiastic considering he is a professional. If that is his job, he should love doing it! The steps were only explained once, giving the speech little repetition. It was hard to remember everything he said because he didn’t repeat anything. Also while he was performing CPR, it was silent. It would have been better if he was talking or explaining something while doing the motions. Apparently he can’t multitask!
Because he works in the medical field, he knew the steps and could explain them very well. Overall, it was very informative and organized. It was short and to the point, although it could have been more exciting.
