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.

Between the defibrilators and Viagra, there's going be a lot of raising of the dead.

“Next trip to Switzerland I’m going to ask for the girl who has worn out her defib machine - and ordered another.”

Just watch which door the Energizer Bunny goes to.

That depends on how you play it...

Modern defibrillators are becoming increasingly quick and easy for the “lay” person to use, which can mean the difference between life and death”.

Pfft.

Back in my Single Days I used to take a defib with me to Vegas to keep the hookers from dying.
