A tip of the hat to you, kind sir. I too was a Boy Scout and, as you say, not much of one. Several years ago, on a whim, I decided to take a CPR course at the local college. The day AFTER getting my certificate I went to the local supermarket for various sundries. After parking my car I noticed a gentleman laying on the ground, slush and snow all around him. He was awake but not particularly aware. I did all the things that you needed to do...checked his awareness, called 911 and kept him company to check on his vitals. To make a long story short he was brought to the hospital where he was put into the ICU. I visited him<br />to check how he was doing and realized that he was a LONG lost friend of the family that no one had seen in a very long time. On the third day In I returned to wish him a great day and to see how he was doing. To my chagrin I was told that he had passed away the night before due to complications of Diabetes and heart related problems. While this was certainly not on the level of pathos that you encountered, it haunted me for a while and to this day I renew my CPR certification. Keep up the great writing, your posts are always welcome.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091429140754182758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921957991631086138.post-61246209534407366282011-07-21T15:47:54.450-05:002011-07-21T15:47:54.450-05:00Beautiful post...
