Willard Gourley asked me to remind you we will collect money Sunday to help MPUMC buy two defibrillators (De fib ri la tors). We collected several Sundays. This Sunday the 13th will be the last. We received a couple of hundred dollars so far. The total cost is about $3900 for two. Willard has this to say about them:
 

• o Wg505qg@aol.com wrote: + Defibrillation may be provided within minutes of cardiac arrest by trained personnel (Susan Mobley would have to train or certify staff/members) or emergency (personnel). Programs in Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD) have been developed to shorten the time to defibrillation and improve survival from cardiac arrest. PAD programs place automated external defibrillators (AED) through-out the community and train lays rescuers to use them and perform CPR. + This is all I know about the subject other than it is an extension of the CPR training and is the next step toward life saving after CPR efforts are not successful. You need to be trained beyond the basics of CPR. Willard.
