Then there are all the firefighters, police, and 250 volunteers in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). All of these folks are the reason why, if you have a sudden cardiac arrest, the survival rate in TV is 60% vs 7 % nationally.

I have to stop getting involved in discussions like this dbussone that should improve my chances of survival greatly. Just Kidding. I did know the rate was much higher for survival but I never knew why. Bravo to those who give of themselves for others. That is a beautiful thing. I would like to be involved in the support of these wonderful people in a way I can handle when we land. Amazing stuff!
