Okay, I just read about this great guy who rescued his dog from a frozen lake and gave her mouth to snout CPR – that is amazing as I don’t think I would give my 22 year old smelly son mouth to snout (I mean) mouth CPR…(probably I would…probably).
Last December I spotted a woman lying on her front lawn…a woman sitting in a car in front of the house, and other cars slowing and not stopping. I had Jim stop the car and grabbed the cell phone – I asked the woman in the car – “has anyone called for help” – she put up her hands and shook her head no. I called 911. Jim parked the car and came over. I saw a CVS pharmacy bag – asked Jim to find out her name and see what was in there…her purse and gloves lay there. Her eyes were fixed and she was foaming at the mouth. I started chest compressions and we held her hand and called her name – and told her to hang in there – she never showed any signs of response. The fire department finally got there -and took over – after lots of work – they got a rhythm – but she ended up dying at the hospital. I cried and cried…how can you let someone just lay in their front yard and not do anything?
