American ED - billiant!

I took my kids to see the new wild things movie this past weekend. During the previews and commercials that go on for thirty minutes prior to the movie, during that time that you eat half of your popcorn and drink all your drink, insuring both running out of popcorn AND a trip to the ladies room mid-movie, I saw a commercial for an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED as they are referred to. It was a brilliant idea actually. Placed in public areas, the AED is for both public and professional use and can save the life of someone who is having a heart attack. I don’t know why it never occurred to me that this was a handy tool to have hanging on your wall, right next to the fire extinguisher. I am glad to see someone is thinking of this stuff. Because really, the faster we can perform certain tasks such as CPR and defibrillation, perhaps the fewer lives we will lose.
