Regardless of the screwy nature of the story, if you haven’t yet learned CPR, do so now! You just might make a difference between life and death for someone you love.
I just read a report on the American Heart Association web site. They tracked almost 4,000 sudden-collapse incidents that occurred outside of a hospital setting. Only 12% survived.
Nationally, the average response time for medical personnel is 20 minutes. Unfortunately, for every minute the heart is not pumping oxygen-rich blood to your brain, your life expectancy lowers by 10%. In 10 minutes, you will be dead. Most cardiac arrest ambulance calls are body pickups.
That’s why learning CPR is so important. YOU REPRESENT THE VICTIM’s ONLY CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL.
