You never know when it's your time... Mine was when my heart stopped while
Driving. Wife and kids in the car. Going down the bypass in Christiansburg around 70mph. One second I'm fine mid conversation next, out.
Wife noticed we were drifting out of our lane and looked over to see me slumped over in the seat. She grabbed the wheel and eventually guided us off the road. My foot finally slid off the accelerator and we slowed to a stop as we started going uphill.
The joke about dying in your sleep... Not screaming and crying like the passengers in your car.... It hits me a little different.

Any of us could end up in this situation- def. something to think about!

Dang. Good work by them. CPR is exhausting, 3-4 minutes a person is no joke

He needs to add wilderness first aid, but with EMT, I'm not sure how much
