Might be useful one day, as I often havn't a clue where I am!
That could have been so helpful for us at the GM. Trying to describe where we were as i'm not sure control was so sure. We were 30/40 mins doing CPR up a hill waiting for paramedics. I don't think a defib would have helped but that community is now looking into one given the amount of walkers.

we were working 30:2 but the breaths were quickly ditched as it was an awkward angle for us to work at.

The defib that the para's brought looked dead easy to understand and follow - in fact there was no way you could mess it up.

And i used nellie the elephant much to the hilarity of the fireman that was there - though staying Alive is just as good but you have to make sure you don't start doing the dance as well.

RIP Frank
