Yesterday when at the starter for Truman, we were told a man had "gone down" on the first hole so we had to wait. Although I am not a nurse, I am in the medical field so I had my husband run our cart over as the ambulance had not gotten there yet and I saw him lying face down on the green with everyone standing around. I knelt down by him and saw his face all covered in blood. He had what the others described as "seizure like" movements and then fell face down. He was awake but not really alert, not completely coherent. I checked his pulse with my fingers and tried to talk to him and looked him over until the ambulance got there. When I got back to the starter, I asked why no one had brought over an AED (automated external defibrillator). I was told "they tried, but it was locked up and no one had the key"!!!!! If this man was having a heart attack or was in an irregular heart rhythm, the AED would recognize the rhythm and inform me to shock him to try to get him out of it. It could have meant the difference between this man living or dying. I am greatly disappointed in this situation.
