Yes I agree about it been the worst thing to set up and "deal" with primary reason is as you'll be well aware is the very low chance of recovery without a AED .. suppose knowing you had one at hand was a small relief even though in the end you didn't need it....
Im not fussed by gore as long as it's not me ..
Think I mentioned a while back to you privately about Mrs A carrying out resuscitation in our street on a elderly lady who she bought a couple of extra days for her family to say their goodbyes .... And wound up with flowers and thank you card been delivered to her work from her family .. then a award from work and a bottle of champagne (national firm saw it make them look good)
Least you will alway have the knowledge that you've kissed the boss of ever you want to embarrass him
You couldn’t embarrass that man.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

The very reason I got trained was because about four years ago,the grandfather of my daughters ex husband had a heart attack one Sunday morning.His son lived next door,and came to help mum,but neither knew what to do,and sadly,he did not survive. I didn’t want to be in that situation.
Yorkshire Andy: I got a message from the boss’s son last night.He’s doing ok,but he does have a couple of cracked ribs!
A colleague from work did her first aid after her own father dropped dead at the dinner table and her hospital-working-very-first-aid-trained husband couldn't save him. I think she feels that if she's trained too, then she has at least some control over a situation like that and can at least *try*. I got trained for much less prosaic reasons - I work with students and they have a tendency to keel over at certain times of year. Plus I live alone and i think it's just sensible to have an idea of what to do if I cut myself badly or something.
Cracked ribs: I thought that was a sign you'd pressed hard enough!
This all reminds me that I'm probably due a refresher training session soon.
