HeartStart Home Defibrillator
Philips is shipping technology that could save your life.
One of my high school buddies had a heart attack last Sunday. Fortunately, he was at a friend's house. While his friend was getting him on the floor to start CPR, his friend's wife was dialing 911. A cop and two firemen showed up, who were fortunately nearby at the time, and their portable defibrillator saved his life; the CPR didn't start him up. The doctors couldn't find any blocked arteries or any other reason for it, so they diagnosed it as Sudden Cardiac Death, aka Cardiac Arrest. He's had an automatic defibrillator implanted, and expects to be released from the hospital today. Whew!
Had the cop and firemen not been nearby, or had they not had a portable defibrillator, I would likely have lost a friend. That's where Philips' machine comes in. It's automatic, hence very easy to use. $1,299, payable in 1, 5, or 10 interest-free monthly installments, or 12, 18, or 24 months with 18% interest. Prescription required.

"In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes they are up and around)."
