Could you do it?
I was at the gym today on the treadmill eating my chocolate and drinking my coffee when I spied the AED (automatic external defibrillator) on the wall which got me to thinking (scarey I know). If you suddently had severe chest pain, would you put the patches on and if need be press the button if it said you need shocked even though you knew it was going to hurt like hell?

Nope... if it's time to go, let me go. No need to hang around any longer after last call.
Plus I figure if that happens to me in a gym, I'd probably have been staring at a hot hard-body slim with a thong and outfit that looks like it was applied with finger paint. |

Not possible.
An AED will not shock unless a flat line is detected. |

I don't know if I could do it to myself but could easily do it to someone else. I've been trained to.
You will most likely be unconscious if you need it anyway |

How is it possible to use it on oneself? If your heart stops, you pass out.

I'm not talking if you flat line it which an AED won't shock on. The reason you want to call 911 first is to get an AED there to shock a shockable rhythm and yes I have seen people awake and coherent that needed to be shocked even had one grab my azz years ago before being shocked. Hmmmm now I am starting to think that might explain a few things....

Having been on the business end of a Taser, I'd have to say, eh eh.
