One of the most bizarre stories I heard was guy driving himself to the hospital while having an MI. He went into V tach and crashed into a retaining wall. When he hit the wall, he took the steering wheel to the chest, which defibrillated him and he came back around. True story - you can't make this stuff up.
Wow, Doctor... I had no idea that Honda made defibrillators. What will they think of next?
Maybe all the hybrid cars could double as AEDs. You turn the key and you hear, "ANALYZING NOW."
Last year my (73) year old Mom's defibrillator went of just as she touched the pump handle at a gas station. It almost knocked her down, and a kindly gentlemen finished pumping gas for her. She really thought it was static electricity.
10 minutes later while parked she was on the cell phone talking to a friend about what happened. The defibrillator hit her again, causing her to throw the cellphone down, and then hustle herself to Touro Hospital.
