Well I have not been on this site other than to view it due to traveling and having to use a company computer most of the time. I just wanted to share what happened to me.

Well it started with me coming back to the states on rotation from Chile. The gym I have been working out at had nothing for a true leg day work out. I had to rely on cardio and lunges which I think are satin in the form of exercise.

So I went back to my gym and went balls to the wall on my leg work out. I was a beast. Well after I puked (way I know that I had a good workout) I stood up way to fast and passed out. A guy thought I had a heart attack and without missing a beat went right into doing CPR and calling 911. I didn't need CPR and due to being in an adrenaline rush along with a bad 911 operator I got CPR for 20 minutes until the ambulance showed up.

So I ended up in the hospital with totally destroyed lungs that bled out 3.5 liters of blood, fractured sternum and several fractured ribs. I had to be placed on a vent for 6 days and 14 days in the ICU. Now I have been on Short Term DI from work and on bed rest for a month now.

So I guess what I wanted to say is take a CPR class and make sure that there is an AED machine (which was there at the gym), before you start CPR. I go see the doctor again for a follow up and hopefully be able to return to work next week.

Just wanted to share and I hope this will help someone take a CPR class
