If you are having a heart attack on your own!

This could be very well the most important post I have ever put in a discussion forum! And when you think about it, middle aged clients who get no exercise, doing the biz with some of our wonderful escorts could well be prime candidates for a heart attack! Indeed has it ever happened or have you ever heard of it happening in that scenario?

1 Let's say it's 6:25 PM and you're going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2 You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4 Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

5 You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6 HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7 However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8 Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9 Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!

10 A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail, kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

11 Rather than sending jokes, please..contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person's life

12 If this message comes around you ......more than once.....please don't get irritated......U need to be happy that you have many friends who care about you & being reminded of how to tackle....Heart attacks....

Another thing that is annoying me is that we have not formally adopted a policy of having defibrillators placed virtually everywhere, it has been proposed to place them in the many now unused telephone boxes in a secure place, which can be unlocked by a pin code released by an emergency services operator when called, but has anything happened on this proposal yet! No there to busy criminalizing consenting adults!

It has happened unfortunately and was discussed on here a couple of months ago — I can't recall the ladies name though.

Informative ;)

It's absolutely inevitable that it would happen somewhere re our hobby/work!

Actually had an experience with a former boss.

He took into a mad one in the office when it was just the two of us, would put the shits up you for sure.


All worked out grand though

Asprin thins the blood and can help. Chew a couple of asprin, this is normally a bad idea because it can damage your stomach, doesn't matter here.

Ring 999 and tell them you think you are having a heart attack. They may have a specialist cardiac response team.

If at home, go to a neighbours house, or like me, if you live out in the wilds, sit outside the front door and if at night switch on the outside light.

The worst time to have a heart attack would be while playing charades! Imagine, you're on yer knees, clutchin yer chest and appealing for help and all your friends are pointing at you shouting, "Romeo" or "opra singer" and just as you keel over they all shout "HEART ATTACK" and high five each other.
What a sad sad fucking way to go!

Further clarification here, which suggests that the cough 'CPR' may not be suited depending on the cardiac event you are experiencing -
