'A true-to-life story' One beautiful fall evening Mr. Jones was in his front yard raking his leaves and enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of the fall trees. As he worked, Mr. Jones began to feel strange; he suddenly felt weak and listless, it became difficult for him to breathe, and he felt nauseated. Putting the feeling aside and thinking that he was simply a little tired, Mr. Jones sat down a few moments to rest. After a while Mr. Jones began to feel better, so he decided, to go ahead wih his yard work. All was going well when suddenly the symptoms began to rapidly appear again. This time, though, it was different; they were much worse, and his chest felt as though it had been run over by a truck He called for his wife, using as much effort as he could muster When Mrs. Jones hurried tohim. he was lying on the ground unconscious. Mrs. Jones ran to the phone and called the ambulance. When the crew arrived. Mr. Jones was barely alive. They loaded him into the ambulance and headed for the hospital as promptly as possible. While en route to the hospital. Mr. Jones' vital signs ceased, and the ambulance crew could find no pulse or breathing. Immediately the crew began CPR. trying furiously to save his life. But in this case, more than CPR was needed Mr. Jones didn't make it. although the ambulance crew had done all they could and all the law allows them to do. What Could Happen? What could have happened if the ambulance crew were an Advanced Life Support Unit? Upon arriving at the scene, an Advanced Life Support crew would have been able to immediately initiate a heart monitor on Mr. Jones and send an EKG to the hospital. A physician could have interpreted the EKG and given orders to the ambulance crew before the vital signs disappeared Mr. Jones would have had a much better chance to survive Various examples of Advanced Life Support methods will be discussed at a Milford community meeting on Wednesday. Nov. 8. at 7:30 p.m in the Milford Fire Station In order to become an Advanced Life Support Unit.
