They say they responded to a cardiac arrest but later in the article they say that no call required a defibrillator. HUH???? strange.

Maybe they arrived and decided it was too late? Exactly one year ago, next week, we replaced all of our AED's w/ Lifepak 1000's. Haven't used them one single time, but we had at least six DOA's (whether they were dispatched as such, or arrests). None were viable, through obvious signs of death. I realize I probably just jinxed myself. At least I didn't say Quiet. Aw shit.
