MELBOURNE, June 10 (Xinhua) -- A married couple from the Australian state of Victoria have been honored with a Governor-General's medal for their heroism last year in treating the wounded during the Paris terror attacks.
The couple, Laura Mannes and William Harrison, both paramedics, were out for dinner while holidaying in the French capital last November when they heard gunshots and saw hundreds of people running past in panic.
With no knowledge of the Islamic State (IS) attack barely 100 meters away, the off-duty pair rushed Laura's parents (holidaying with them) and hundreds of panicked Parisians back to their apartment for safety before heading back to the carnage with towels and linen to help the critically injured.
"We didn't know anything, there was nothing on television as it was happening at the same time ... we didn't initially know what was going on and thought it was just a shooting like a gang shooting or something like that," Harrison told NewsCorp on Friday.
Their courageous deed on the night of the November 13 terror attacks had only previously been known to family, friends and the London Ambulance Service where they have been working in the past 18 months.
That all changed on Friday when the couple were surprised by Australia's Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove at their London workplace who presented them with an Office of the Governor-General's personal medallion.
Cosgrove praised the couple, who hail from the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne, for "showing courage and professional skill" in aiding the terror victims.
Mannes told News Corp that receiving the medallion was "a lovely surpris" and"very humbling".
The Victorian couple, who got engaged in Paris earlier last year, don't know what happened to the injured victims who they treated, but are sure their aid would have helped.
Mannes said she believed the notion of the "Australian spirit" rang true.
"I think you hear about (Aussie spirit) a lot, when there's natural disasters and things, communities bind together. Tasmania at the moment with the floods, I was living there for a while, and people organising charity dinners helping people who have lost things -- it's being a 'True Blue Aussie isn't it, you earn that reputation for a reason," she said.
Along with the couple, the governor-General also praised the efforts of around 450 Australian paramedics who are working with the London Ambulance Service.
Before a medical student signs up for a course he or she needs to determine their goals Authentic Alex Mack Jersey , to figure out if the course offers the academics, hand on experience and the cost that is right for their budget. There are many dermal filler training courses but not many will have the comprehensive course curriculum Authentic Vic Beasley Jr. Jersey , an affordable price and the opportunity to learn on a live model. When students are considering which dermal filler training course to attend they should evaluate the school and the expectations that they have regarding the outcome of course completion.
Determine if a Course is Right for you
Is the Curriculum Reputable?
It鈥檚 very important to find a course with a curriculum that comes from a knowledgeable source. The best way to find out if the curriculum can be trusted is to ask the school if they have a board of medical advisors. A certification company with medical advisors usually means that no one person is responsible for the learning material and that the committee will meet up frequently to exchange research, ideas and to determine if and where the course needs to be refined.
The course should also contain many components of dermal filler practices such as anatomy Authentic Matt Ryan Jersey , safety and even the business side of the service. A variety in the course will provide the student with a full picture of the practice and help students to find their place within the field.
Does the Course Provide Experience?
There are different ways to learn course materials such as listening to lectures, reading and taking notes. However all of these methods are very academic. One of the best ways to not only retain the course material but gain practical Authentic Devonta Freeman Jersey , industry-specific experience, is to practice on a live model. A live model has volunteered their time to allow students to try dermal filler treatment on them during class. A certification company that can offer this opportunity to their students is the ideal choice as this is one of the best ways to learn. The student can complete their course with some treatment experience already under their belt.
Are the Courses Offered Affordably?
For many students the affordability of the course is a major concern. Too many schools charge for basic and advanced certifications. Any student that has budget in mind should decide on a certification company that offers both basic and advanced level certifications in one full course. This not only saves costs but also time Authentic Calvin Ridley Jersey , which is valuable to many established professionals that are taking courses to expand their services.
