Life saving advice I have photographed many of these public access defibrillators, but this is the first I have seen with advice about the whole treatment of the victim.  I love this country.  A few well-meaning individuals have sat down and thought about when this device may be used, and taken their own actions to help.  This is why local voluntary action works so well.
