Help Me

Is usually a phrase uttered by someone in true peril. I don't expect to hear it from a middle aged man with a runny nose and a sore throat. But then I don't expect someone to ring an ambulance for that kind of condition so what do I know?

I also don't expect to be lectured by a nurse on how CPR should now be at the rate of 140 - 150 compressions a minute and how I don't know what I'm doing and he does because he has been on a course. Who needs to bother with published resuscitation guidelines when a course has told him that he knows better? It makes me all warm inside to know that such a well educated individual could be looking after somebody I know in the future.

I feel much better now that it has pointed out to me that even the advert on TV with the Bee Gees song shows a rate of about 150 a minute. I don't know what kind of freaky dance remix they are listening to but it sure as shit isn't the same as the one I heard when listening to the advert.

I am at a loss as to which is worse...
