I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but was never told this…
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden you have chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like you’re being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or your home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it.
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line, plus sudden fatigue.
Repost and help save lives by spreading this message.

    Even this has to be said?
    When we put stuff out for free it's generally for everybody, not just you exclusively. But if it had to be prioritized it's for the people who don't have anything first, and then you rich people can come get what's left. And "everybody" implies that you share. ie: the decorations don't require you to back up your truck or trailer and clean our whole parking lot. If your house is that big, you can wait... for next year even. Really trying to not be harsh this month, but lack of manners is giving me lack of patients.

      "I got a sliver today.
      ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍
      This year I've manged to avoid setting myself on fire, being electrocuted, neglected to blow myself up, only broke one finger, no minor concussions, possibly no major concussions, avoided falling off of a building, never bit or was bitten by any animals (wild or domestic), haven't wrapped my hair around a drill chuck, went through zero windshields, kept the quad out of the pond, didn't choke on to many fruits (wild or domestic), only made four spelling mistakes(Inkluding this one), had no physical altercations with any customer(wild or domestic), and I only got hit by a car once. . .

      . . goddamn. If repeating any of those things meant getting rid of this sliver. . . "
