Swiss Prostitutes Trained To Use Defibrillators In Brothels To Prevent Clients Dying
Swiss prostitutes are being trained to use defibrillators to prevent clients with heart problems from dying on them, it has emerged.
18 Feb 2010 Brothel owners in the Lugano area say electric shop treatment to restart customer's hearts is needed because so many elderly customers are using their services. The most recent victim was a pensioner, thought to be having fun with the help of anti-impotence medication.
His death followed a series of other incidents, some fatal, in which heart attacks have claimed brothel customers in the area. The owner of one sex club said: "Having customers die on us isn't exactly good publicity". There are now 38 sex clubs and brothel in the Lugano area. And more are planned, according to Italian daily, Corriere della Sera, in order to accommodate the thousands of customers who pour over the boarder from Italy, where brothels are illegal. Around 80 per cent of the men who pay for sex in the area are thought to be Italian.
The sex trade in the pretty, lakeside Swiss town is also being fuelled by prostitutes from South America and Eastern Europe who enter the country via Italy. Local health experts are said to have backed the plans to stock defibrillators in sex clubs and brothels.
Defibrillators work by delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat, after it has stopped.

Do they charge extra for that?
There are any number of jokes one could make here.
Gotta keep those special interests going, eh?
Darn, if they give you a heart attack, they must be good. Maybe they yodel or something.
parsy, the curious
I was thinking the same...
They must be REALLY good at their job!
Maybe they could keep our congressmen from dying before 120. They should stay in Switzerland.
What? No pictures?
no pics?
bummer
Well, a hard attack can lead to a heart attack, it seems.
Ha! Well at least that old guy will die with a smile on his face!
This is what we used to have in the old days
Next trip to Switzerland I’m going to ask for the girl who has worn out her defib machine - and ordered another.
yeah but I don’t think she’ll be smiling. ewww

If they were actually good at their job, they’d only need their tongue.
< nitpick>
Defibrilators do not “restart hearts” - if the heart’s in v. fib and you’re lucky, they shock it back into a normal sinus rhythm. Still might do some good if the pros get CPR training too.

Perhaps they could hire Megan as a consultant.
which reminds me of this.
