Steve, your experience is not unusual. For the past 13 years I have been a chaplain at a major medical center and have witnessed many, many crises situations. Unlike what you might see on TV the success rate for CPR is very low. Outside of a hospital, the survival rate, long term, is about 2%.

I was on an organized charity ride where a rider went down in front of us right out of the gate, on a fairly short but steep climb. Our initial reaction was to stop and try to help, so we stopped immediately. However some ride officials that arrived on the scene at the same time we did, just as imm

Hi, It is sad that Tom died. Maybe he was doing what he loved best when he pasted. If I was dying on the side of the road, I'm not sure I'd want everyone stopping by to watch. On Apr 27, 2010, at 12:05 PM, Me wrote: > It's a troubling thing, and I am troubled by it. > > Reading the account of t

It's a troubling thing, and I am troubled by it. Reading the account of the fella who rode a good part of the double century with Tom, I am left thinking a few things: 1. I should try one of his saddles [if for no other reason, than tribute and homage]. 2. People should know CPR. 3. People say
