To save one life is as if to save the world.
One common topic among survivors is the scar that results from having a tiny defibrillator implanted under the skin to correct abnormal heart rhythms that could occur in the future. For some, the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) scar is an emblem of triumph over sudden death. For others, it it provides a sense of security. For still others, it presents a fashion challenge.

AEDs are great devices and really do save lives if used promptly. However, they have to be properly maintained and their location on the train needs to be made known to passengers as well as the crew. While training on the use of an AED is nice, these devices are designed to be used by anyone regardless of training. Therefore, they should be immediately accessible to anybody riding the train as tracking down the crew wastes time when the cardiac arrest survival rate decreases approximately 10% for each minute the AED's use is delayed. The impact of the AEDs will be muted if they're locked up in a compartment somewhere that requires tracking down train personal to open.
