Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

For St. Valentine's Day, the new simpler way to save a heart and a life

h/t, Theo. The tricky part, of course, is figuring out whether they need this.

I always loved the old CPR. If your certs weren't up to date, you weren't qualified so let the person die. Kind of an idiotic concept. This is better, I think.

If you really want to freak the trainers out, ask when you can stop. They have no answer except when medical help arrives. Then say, well what about if I'm out to sea, 10 days from helo range? Or deep in the mountains, with no cell coverage?

We live in a bubble and most people don't contemplate what happens when you go outside the 911 bubble or the bubble collapses during a disaster. On the upside, we're pretty good of getting the bubble back up after nature has her way with our civilization.

I would say that the victim in the blue shirt in the video is a goner. With the lower half of his body totally missing, there's nothing much anyone could do to save him. CPR isn't going to help the poor b*stard. RIP.
