Would they do the same for a non-celebrity?

Not hardly...

Thank you. I woke up this morning feeling a little less cynical than usual . . . .

I don’t know. When I arrested, they worked on me for about 30-35 minutes. I had 2 arrests, was revived once, arrested again, then revived for good.

And I’m no celebrity.

Sorry to say but attempts to revive any 51 year old male suffering from an MI would take this long or longer. My own father was dead before he hit the floor yet the hospital spent at least that long trying to revive him. He was no celebrity but he was my hero.
Come to think of it...he did bear quite a resemblance to George Peppard.

They would. One of my daughters was a paramedic, and they tried to save every person they were called out to.

That said, he was an excellent actor and did a fantastic job on that show. So he has left behind a wonderful film legacy.

Why so negative?

The report that I saw earlier said that he was alive when they loaded him in the ambulance.

I don’t think 40 minutes is overzealous before calling the code over.

He's lucky he was in Italy. If it happened here, he'd have to wait for an okay from Kathleen Sebelius.

Actually I think they do it for everyone. They certainly did for my sister.

Actually they probably would have. A friend of mine died pretty much the same way last month and they spent nearly an hour trying to resuscitate him.

They did this for my brother-in-law who passed away at the age of 49 from a heart attack, worked on him for almost an hour.

Yes they would boy.

I had a heart attack last Thursday and the doc's and nurses cared just as much.
