To save one life is as if to save the world.
Future Risk Managed with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
PITTSBURGH–In his first chance to say thank to the first responders who saved his life three weeks ago, a Robert Morris University student got and gave out a lot of hugs and hand shakes. Ryan Collins is a theatre major whose life story took a dramatic turn when he collapsed on West End Stage during a rehearsal three weeks ago.
TUPELO, MS - The line between life and death is often separated by seconds, which is why the Tupelo Police and Lee County Sheriff's departments say having automated external defibrillators in patrol cars can help to save lives.
The Weston Reed Foundation has donated 21 AEDs to the Tupelo Police Department and Lee County Sheriff's Department, and officers received training on how to use them Tuesday. Each machine costs more than $2,000 and will arrive soon.
Tupelo Police Officers Robert Vail and David Harvel instructed the course for officers and deputies at the Tupelo Police Academy.
Because police officers are often the first people on emergency scenes, Vail said the AED is a important life-saving tool.
