I kept certified but had my name removed for the list of in house first aid givers.

Left NYS a few years later.
Twenty plus years ago NC passed good Samaritan law to prevent people from being held liable under circumstances like that. Came about over someone who helped after a car accident and they were sued(ambulance chasers sued everyone).
Somebody sues me if I try and save them... They won't survive the next time.

I'm sorry to hear about your coworker. I had the same situation at work. I was talking to a guy that looked like Hell, so I told him to go home. He was out a day or 2, and he called me on a Thursday saying he was feeling a bit better. I told him to just take the rest of the week off and come back fresh on Monday. He died on Saturday. I discovered from his brother at his funeral that he hadn't been to a doctor in over 20 years.

When I was i my 30s a bunch of colleagues the same age passed away suddenly, then it seems like there was a lull until I hit my late 40's then another spate of deaths occurred, now, at 73, I try not to look up old colleagues' infor because its depressing.

Very Sad indeed. I am biting my tongue now as my daughter is 23, and going through some cardiac testing.. Fatigue, needs a heart monitor. She was a swimmer, and now for recreation does boxing ( just for recreation).
I mentioned she had the moderna, only one of the 2 shots, and I told her many people are having issues with heart problems. She dismissed it completely and said no, it has to do with stress with being a Chef. Yep, sure.

I hope for the best with your daughter.

Back in the early 70's, I did my high school years in a large restaurant during high school. Some serious stress involved. Hot, sweaty yelling all the time, fkd up orders, complaining. I see it as a thankless job. Does not get better until the day is over.

73 and had all the shots (wife pushed me into it and I got tired of fighting) wore a heart monitor for a full week and told I have the heart of a 16 year old. Don't tie random cause and effects together because of some theories on a car forum.

Your 73-year-old heart is going backwards. Not good.

People have survived falls when their parachute didn't open either.

I would not recommend trying it.

#1 symptom of cardiac disease is sudden death. Sorry to hear of your colleagues demise. When it’s your time you go.
