I've just heard that a friend in England, an ex-commercial diver in his 50's, collapsed at home a few days ago just after welcoming his married daughter and her family on a visit. Apparently his heart actually stopped. His daughter immediately jumped into CPR mode, and when the ambulance arrived around 12 minutes later was still giving it. He's now in hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, though he'll need some form of heart surgery. The paramedics said that without his daughter's prompt action he would have died before they reached him.

A big reminder if one is needed to get your first aid skills up to scratch and maintain them at that level. It's well known that most people don't like giving intrusive first aid like CPR because they don't like getting so close to someone, which is a good reason for going on a course (or giving one - instructors are just as reluctant to get personally involved) at least once every six months. Something I'm afraid I don't do, but must try to correct for the future.
