Give the Gift of Life

When someone collapse from stroke, heart attack or simply stop breathing..It is a race against time, to the hospital which is 30km away.

The moment someone stops breathing, he has only 4 minutes to get oxygen to his brain or suffer permanent brain damage. Another 3 minutes, for the heart to stop beating completely.

Let's put this in real life scenario..

What are the common traits when someone collapse in a shopping mall?
1. People form a circle and crowd around, depleting more oxygen
2. Nobody helps and precious time slips by.
3. Finally, some kind soul alert the security officer who then takes his time to call 995.
By the time paramedics arrived, the poor casualty has almost used up his 7 minutes grace.
The chances of resuscitating the casualty drops to 0.19 percent.

Please don't be eaten up by the society's selfish and ignorant attitude..

I understand we are not saints or angels..
But if we are equipped with basic life saving techniques..
We can give someone a Gift and the Gift which I named it 'The Gift of Life'

Folks, this is not being saintly or anything..
But to picture myself as the casualty,I will desperately want someone to help me!!
