Got Headshots?

the importance of CPR
so it's the day after xmas and i am hanging around in chino at a buddy's house...
i jump on the fwy, and decide to pull back off and get some gas...
i see a shell station with a decent price and for some reason, at the last second, i pull into a chevron that is selling for a higher price...
since its cheaper next door, nobody else is getting gas where i am but i decide to stay there and gas up...
i hear a thud behind me, and turning around, i see an elderly man lying on the ground next to his car...
something takes over me and i spring into action... i run to the booth and yell at the cashier to dial 911, man down in the parking lot...
i run to his side and he is lying there face down with a small pool of blood flowing from his nose... i poke him to see if he is responsive and see him exhale his last breath...
looking down at his pelvic area, i see incontinence, so i KNOW at this time, he is in real trouble... his wife comes out of the car freaking out and i get her to calm down as i roll him over to his back and spread his arms out... he is still unresponsive and his lips are turning blue...
without so much as blinking, i rip his jacket open and quickly unbutton his dress shirt to see if he is breathing... nothing...
i reach for his carotid on the neck... no pulse... i check his airway passage and have his wife move his tongue... nothing...
as if on their own, my arms assume the position to begin chest compressions, and i verbally instruct the wife to pinch his nose, clear his airway passage, and begin blowing air...
the two of us begin CPR...
at one point she seemed to give up, and fighting back tears in my eyes i refuse and continue on... a man walking by sees the commotion and rushes to our aid and takes over breathing air into the lifeless form, and we continue our battle to revive him as sirens blare in the background...
5 mins seems to last an eternity but the paramedics arrive to relieve us and bring some real medical attention to the victim...
sitting there watching them work feverishly on the man, i am overcome with tears and trembling... the reality sets in that this poor old man was dead but i just could not give up... i had to keep trying...
the police take me away from the scene for questioning for their report, and as the paramedics load the victim into an ambulance, one of the paramedics approaches us and advises that they got a pulse... they shook my hand and told me that had we not been there to administer CPR as soon as we did, he would not have made it at all...
i helped save a life on the day after xmas... it was surreal... it was scary... it was an emotional roller coaster...
im glad as hell that i was able to remember the CPR basics when it really mattered...
i need to go and re-take a class... it's important to know CPR... -
