Well this morning I was in a supermarket and heading for the whiped cream (for my kitten guys  )
Anyway while I so focussed on the cream...I walked by a man that needed CPR 
A day after X-mas
I thought they(the manager and first cassiere (were, how do you say that in English? )  fill up? Shoving the shelves? 
It happened this morning but I am still thinking abt this.....

He was a very rich, educated (graduated from UCSB at 17) well respected, a philanthrapist. He worked down the street from me, I did not know him, but he was a client of our Law Firm. He was only 37 years old and his daughter Talia was 13, Talia's friend Francesca survived the crash. They were on their way back from Panama to Santa Barbara. It is very sad to see something like that happen, it hits very close to home.
Wow, I heard about this story on the news recently. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Weird thing.
My uncle just died this morning from that. I kid u not. Not even 45 mins ago. And the ironic thing was that he was on his way to a funeral. Unexpected is correct. U never know. So do good and be good to one another while u still have a chance. | |

I remember once, about 10 years ago, when I used to work downtown. I was walking around outside, coming back from lunch, and saw someone lying in the street. They were obviously hit by a car, and there was emergency rescue vehicles and people crowded around, trying to help the injured person. I remember being kinda shocked by it, and then telling my co-workers about it. Hopefully, that person was not seriously injured. Witnessing those kinds of things (people in emergency situations) tend to stay with us for awhile. [Edited 12/29/07 8:11am] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

EVERYONE needs to take a CPR class. The Red Cross offers them.
Sometimes, all it takes to save a life, is repositioning the airway. Someone who is choking needs the Heimlick manuever. Pulling a kid out of a pool, can be a matter of giving a few breaths...The current trend, is chest compressions, and not mouth to mouth breaths. This theory was developed by one of the cardiologists, Dr.Kearns, at the hospital where I work. That eliminates the fear of contagious infections and CPR, which limits the willingness of some to help strangers. (not myself, as I tend to be a die-hard) Really. It's a four hour class, tops, and the instructors are great. | |

I guess from reading your posts your working in the medical scene? Even though my boss thinks I'm an absolute low life these days, I'm an RN. I've worked 12 years, all together, in an ICU, with internal medicine, cardiology, and heart transplant experience, worked in post-op recovery for another 10 years, currently work in the pre-op and out-patient surgery departments. If someone has a massive coronary event, nothing is going to help. At least someone tried. The automatic defibrillators are great. And it's important to dial 911, and get an ambulance on the way.  | |

Me too. The medical field is very interesting, but very demanding and stressful as well. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
