Nearly 18 years ago, I had a Cardiac Arrest outside the hospital and was without vital signs for 15 minutes. Thankfully, my husband and daughter-in-law, who had recently completed a First Aid Refresher Course, performed chest compressions until the arrival of St. Johns, who revived me with a shock. To ensure my safety, I promptly ordered a Medic Alert Bracelet, which has given me confidence in every activity I choose to do.
