Answer and Explanation:
Ergotamine has been used for over 50 years and was the first specific drug to treat migraine attacks. Its therapeutic effect is due in part to its ability to contract the vessels. It is a vasoconstricting alkaloid used in migraine attacks, when treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has no effect.
The mechanism of action of ergotamine is complex. The molecule has structural similarities to neurotransmitters such as seratonin, dopamine and adrenaline, and can therefore bind to various receptors and function as an inhibitor. Its use in the treatment of migraines is due to its vasoconstrictor effect of extracerebral intracranial blood vessels through their binding to the 5-HT1B receptor and inhibition of neurotransmitter binding.
Overuse of ergotamine may cause nausea, vomiting (to direct effects on the Central Nervous System in the vomiting centers) , malaise, headache, constriction of peripheral vessels and more severe effects such as ischemia of the extremities.
Ergotamine poisoning is called ergotism.
Ergotamine should not be used in patients with peripheral arterial or venous vascular insufficiency, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, systemic infection and hypertension without effective control.
Answer:
I think it should be required. Since it can help encourage a healthy life style, it can help prevent you from getting as sick (since physical activity can help increase your immune system, and help reduce the risk of certain diseases like heart diseases.
However with health class I think it should be elective. Since not everyone will need to know about health, like if you become an engineer health class will not help with that.

Always check for a pulse
If person has collapsed like in this scenario, someone else should call an ambulance while you continue to assess the situation (unless you are the only person their to help. If so, begin the defibrillator process first then call after you have finished all instructions given).
Have someone else run to get the nearest defibrillator possible.
The defibrillator itself with start to talk, telling you instruction you must follow carefully, once those instructions are complete make sure you have absolutely no contact with the body as it will start its electrical pulse
If by chance the person has their wallet accessible anywhere beside their clothing (thing purse or maybe they had dropped it earlier) try to get as much information as possible about the person to the emergency services as possible)
Things to look for are drivers license, business card, sometimes a medical card if this person has any other medical problems (if so tell emergency services if they are still on the phone at this point or when they arrive on the scene)
Send someone outside to wait for emergency services to guide them to wear you are at and never leave the patient alone
