No, this individual is not kissing a manequin. He is demonstrating mouth to mouth rescusitation (sp?) during the CPR class held this past Sunday.I am enjoying the course and I thank the Bikkur Holim Comm for sponsoring it.
The item shown is a portable automatic diffibulator(sp?) that can shock a person's heart back to life and is a preferred method to performing CPR. The cost of this item has gone down substantially and would be a wonderful lifesaving device for FHC where we have persons of all ages and conditions.
It may be time to hold another cocktail party to "Shock FHC party" in order to raise the money to have this item to save lives.
One may ask why we need such an item and the real question is what would happen if we needed the item and we did not have it. One successful use of the item (and it is pretty much idiot proof) makes the item worth its weight in gold.
(I took additional pictures from this weekend at FHC, but I have provided them to the Bulletin.)
Shalom. Jeremy
