Please pause for 2 minutes and
read this:
1. Let’s say it’s 7.25 pm and
you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.
2. You’re really tired, upset and
frustrated.
3. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain
in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You
are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
4. Unfortunately you don’t know
if you’ll be able to make it that far.
5. You have been trained in CPR,
but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on
yourself.
6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK
WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel
faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
7. However, these victims can
help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath
should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as
when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be
repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until
the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
8. Deep breaths get oxygen into
the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood
circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal
rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
9. Tell as many other people as
possible about this. It could save their lives!!
10. A cardiologist says If
everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that
we’ll save at least one life.
11. Rather than sending jokes,
please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.
12. If this message comes around
you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be
happy that you have many friends who care about you & keep
reminding you
how to deal with a heart attack!!
You know I can't run a post without funny stuff:
