Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)’s Post

An outstanding team effort to provide bystander assistance in an all too common incident of sudden cardiac arrest. ❤️🙏 Key takeaways - Having a portable defibrillator, like CellAED®, readily available underscores the need for accessible AEDs in public and private spaces. - Access to early defibrillation can be the difference between life and death. - Being prepared for emergencies by undertaking first aid training and owning a personal defibrillator ensured everyone in this situation acted confidently, quickly, and effectively. - Creating awareness and educating everyone, including children, on how to respond to emergencies played a critical role in keeping the man alive until paramedics arrived. - Hu's experience with CellAED® highlights how easy-to-use and intuitive the device is, even for individuals without training or a medical background. The voice prompts and straightforward instructions provided the necessary guidance and confidence to act. Time is everything. Be prepared to help save to save a life from sudden cardiac arrest with CellAED®. #cellaed #bealifesaver #personalAED #aed #suddencardiacarrest #defibrillator #empowered

Just to start your Monday off in the right direction......

Please don’t forget as the days pass. Asheville and the surrounding areas ARE NOT NORMAL. This is footage on our day out to find (2) of our “missing”/unreachable patients. We found them both-safe. As you see, we met with a volunteer fireman to go over a map prior to leaving. Very scary ride. My anxiety level was at full scale. (Pics from my window). How do you know that the side of the hill is done sliding down? Is this small bridge that we are on stable? Seriously. However, as you see 1 lane. There is no turning around once you decide. You must commit. My only comfort, military in front of us. (And my husband talking me down). Another reason for this venture was that I have RNs going to these areas. As a Director, one of my standards for self is to never ask someone to do something that i would not do myself. (By the way-we found another way-this was going to be a BIG NO for them from me!) As you see we found our patients. We went to a nearby Walmart to buy them blankets, hats, gloves, and Ensure(their request). Neither of them had power, water, or Internet-with no restoration date in site. Though time passes, though new hurricanes come, Asheville and the surrounding and counties still need us to understand what they are dealing with. For many months/years, they will be continuing to find ways to adapt. #dontforget #nowater #nopower

In every possible way, this was such a lovely story to work on. Both joyful and tragic, it felt almost unreal. Coincidently (and I learned it only after) it was published on the day John Manning would have turned 64. He died in 2017. You can read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gWRdFZW6

This 2MMM is a President’s Day message about how we have an opportunity to lead (still) by how we live our life. Sponsored by Personal Injury Made Easy (PIMadeEasy .com) for medical providers who treat personal injury patients. 2MMM: What will be said at YOUR Funeral? For this President’s Day, I was reflecting on impact and legacy. I want you to imagine YOU died. It’s now YOUR funeral. Picture it. The people you know sitting to hear those closest talk about your life. What will those coming up say about YOU? What was YOUR Impact, Your Legacy, and how you Lived your LIfe? We do it for Presidents. Let’s do it for ourselves now. Listen as I talk about these three areas. Then I have a challenge for you that may change how you go about your life this week, and maybe just maybe, for much longer. So that how you live is also how you want to be remembered.
