Back to topic. Well...sort of. I friend of mine owns several funeral homes and he had me go along to pick up a body once. The guy died in his bed. It was the first and only time I will do that.
I've always wondered if I'd find one. We're always paddling rivers and the lake in the summer time. Seems like an opportune time & place to find a body. That or find one while hunting.
I dont remember ever pissin in your cheerios. Not sure why you would think I would want to spell-check any of your posts.
I found my grandmother dead when I was 7. I saw a teenager fall out of a chair in the back of a truck and hit his head and die. I looked outside when I was around 19-20 and saw my neighbor laying dead on his grass from a heart attack. But no, no random dead bodies for me.
Strange update to the story. We go in there after the family has removed all his belongings. Assessing what needs to be done. Get talking about pergo flooring, ceramic tile in bathroom, paint, clean carpets etc.... What needs to be done before renting it and noticed that it was really cold in there. All the thermostats were at around 65. Come to find out the breakers to the electric heaters were all off?!?! Kind of puzzled about that.
I dont need anything from you. Just didnt know why I was being called names for posting up a movie quote. I now know all I need to know.
I haven't come across one, but when I was young I watched my grandfather pass away right in front of me... That was enough right there!
I did about six years ago just before I turned 16... I always drove the 4-wheeler to work because I only worked a few miles away from where I lived. I pulled into my grandma's house and noticed a motorcycle in the ditch, and went over to inspect it a little further. In the process I see a person laying in the cattle lot and he had already passed. He was traveling much too fast and lost control, kept on it through the ditch, but hit a telephone pole and was tossed into the lot. I was definitely kinda out of it for a couple weeks following, and it was definitely not a pretty sight to see.
Oh, I forgot this one somehow... Was in Target in Boynton Beach Fl when they announced on the intercom that if anyone knows CPR, please come to the men's room... I go in with an off duty cop (female) and an off duty nurse (female) and there is a guy lying half in/ half out of the stall... We started CPR, I was doing chest compressions and the cop was doing breaths (and gagging since he had hurled). I broke his rib cage up and the nurse said keep going... He was DOA but we kept at it trying until the paramedics arrived. They put him on the thumper and took him off. Medic told me he never knew of a case where CPR worked. Didn't exactly stumble upon him...but he was dead when I found him. That experience messed me up for a spell.
That's what he told me...he had never seen it work. They put him on a "thumper" when they took him out. Neighbor across the street at the time was a fireman also, said it rarely if ever worked. I am sure it has, but the two gents I spoke to had never seen it. Gotta say - it was exhausting doing it. I was worn the heck out after 20 mins. arms felt like rubber.
We had a local basketball coach and father of one of my co-workers have a heart attack on the basketball court a month ago. He was "dead". His assistant coach performed CPR on him for ten minutes an AED was located. They used the AED and his heartbeat returned after being "dead" for ten minutes. The CPR saved his life.
I'm sure it does Brett...but the gents I spoke to had not seen it. This was also circa 1995? The AED's you see all over were not around then.
I'm in medical sales and call on hospital laboratories where patient testing is conducted... I routinely walk into histology/path labs where everything from a foot to pieces of a uterus is lying on the grossing table... But fortunately I've been spared from such above experiences. Save Atlas's example.
