Five years ago last Saturday my wife was saved by someone with CPR experience when she dropped dead by the side of the road near the beach. No heartbeat, CPR was started immediately and someone across the street who had a defibrillator pack in their truck ran across to start that process. That got her pulse returned and an ambulance just happened to be 3 blocks away! All her angels were in place!
CPR isn't that hard and all it takes is someone nearby to save a life. |

This part of the story makes no sense at all.

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. |
