5 out of 5 stars I'm Trained And Prepared, January 13, 2005

Reviewer: Sir "Potomus" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
I was totally ignorant about human physiology until I took the "HeartSaver AED" class. Now I know to operate an AED and I understand CPR. I was amazed when I read that HeartStart is the first heart defibrillator available for home use without a prescription. I want to be prepared for sudden cardiac arrest, since heart disease runs in my wife's family. Hopefully if I ever do have to call 911 and she has to wait for an ambulance to arrive, I can increase her chances of survival.

Was this review helpful to you? YesNo (Report this)

I do not own this product but am looking to get one for my car/home. I am doing so because as a physician I have saved lives with these devices in the hospital. I know how critical it is to rapidly correct short circuits in the largest portion of the heart, called the ventricles. These short circuits, known as v tach or v fib can only be reliably fixed within several minutes of onset. Even if you dial 911 it may be too late by the time paramedics arrive.

On the other hand the chance that any single person will need one of these devices is low. And the cost is not cheap!

Things that you may want to factor into your decision to buy one of these devices is whether you have someone in your family who is at moderate risk for heart disease and short circuits. For example someone with a prior heart attack but who still has a strong heart might consider having one of these (people with weak hearts may actually want to have a defibrillator implanted into their skin). If you live alone this would not be a wise choice since someone else will need to use if on you. I think it would be wise to be trained in Basic Life Saving if you want to use this devise to prevent inappropriate use that may be harmful. Also you definitely need to keep this out of the reach of kids.

So if you are someone at risk for a short circuit of your heart, live with someone who can get trained in life saving, have the money, and especially if you live a long way from a paramedic, think about buying one of these devices. Things such as food, medication, heat are much more important however.

If you own/run a business with customers or employees over 50 years old, such as a health club or restaurant, get one and get trained. You could save the life of a customer or employee, which is wonderful in many ways. I also guarantee you there is a lawyer waiting for one of your patrons to have a heart attack and die at your business and sue you for millions because "you were too cheap" to buy one of these. So both from a humanity, good business, and liability standpoint this is a wise investment for a business owner.

Unless you've got some sort of weird R.E.M. bicycle shirt.

OK, I'm done.

should i buy this as new toy for morning commute? beats an ipod.

I should use my $600 to buy a kaossilator and a pyp-bomb, then start practicing for my busking debut when it gets warmer?

I have a feeling that the kaossilator will not go over well busking

Paia fatman is a great little box, a friend has one. You have to solder it together yourself though.

Tried one of these last week:

Yamaha is trying them out on teh britishes before maybe marketing them across the globe. It's a fun little box! I can imagine spending hrs fucking about with it. Sturdily made, too, plus built-in tiny loudspeakers. I could really fancy one, but it's about 1200 bucks which is a lot for a little thing like that, so I might wait and see if they blow them out at the end of the run.

OK I GIVE UP

WHAT KIND OF EXTERNAL SOUNDCARD AUDIO INTERFACE LOW LATENCY THINGAMABOBBER DO I BUY FOR 2007 MODEL IMAC

apogee duet

seriously low latency is like the #1 priority here btw

how much $$

the duet would be at the top of my $range. It does look good though

I would find a way to blow $1200 on that Yamaha thing. It's like the controller remy posted somewhere (golf balls on a grid, was it)?

God, I used to have that same weird REM bicycle shirt in high school. The R kinda rubbed off a bit so it looked like it just said "EM."

Uh, from way upthread.
