I go to the grocery store today to get bread and milk. That's all I wanted bread and milk.

As I walked through the meat department a lady convulses and falls to the floor.

I drop all of my stuff to try to catch her, dropping my milk and it made a huge mess, this dopey guy that works there sees me and goes to grab a mop that is right there. I yell at him to call 911, I would call from my phone but I'm trying to help this lady.

He yells to the people in the meat department to call 911 and comes over to "help" and says we need to give her CPR.

I say "She's breathing she's having a seizure there's nothing we can do except keep her from hurting herself"

He insists she needs CPR.

At this point a manager or supervisor or something comes over and I tell him to get this guy out of the way and ask him for something to put under her head.

I wait there til EMS comes, and was so frazzled I left the store with no milk or bread.

It's not even 10am yet.... Can I have a do over for the day?

Sorry to hear that. Glad you were there. I've seen that happen myself. Where a person wants to take charge of a seazure victim and wants to do ALL the WRONG things. But insists he knows what to do and all. Won't let people who REALLY know what to do handle it. Makes me want to require all kids take first aid, ever semester, not once a year, or once in Jr. High health and once in Sr High health. Obviously, they are NOT remembering it.

At least your car started.

Wow lily... what a day did you find out what was wrong with her?

true dat...

Thanks...I needed that.

I'm a trained EMT-b you wouldn't know it by looking at me in my swishys today but come on she was breathing you don't do CPR on someone who is breathing.

Some people just got stupid genes, I guess. Not that I should really say that. But some people just make you want to.

No, I didn't, but you could tell she had some medical issues just by looking at her.Possibly MRDD.

Wow what a way to start out the morning.

Kuddos to you for knowing what it was and taking over.

But now you going back to get that milk and bread?

She deserves free bread and milk

I like doing cpr on women who are breathing. Its foreplay.

oh oh pick me pick me...

See I would have forgotten toilet paper too, good thing I have to go back.

I hope you don't ask them to play dead I can see it now " Roll over... ok now play dead"

and he complains about the fart sniffer...

Good thing you were there before that kid that wanted to do CPR......I learned in my First Responder training you can actually hurt someone with CPR if they don't NEED it.....

just 2 cents worth

Damned distance.

Well done Lily! You did good. The man will be very thankful.

He will mostly be thankful that you didnt give him mouth to mouth though! lol


Edit - Oh it was a woman! lol! I just woke up.

you may not hane milk and bread...but I give you the good samaritan award for the day!

Rule of thumb if someone is breathing they HAVE a pulse.

If there is the faintest of breath or pulse you cannot do CPR.

I didn't do anything. I just didn't let the dopey kid hurt her.



and SHUT UP DAN.
