Ironic

Bad hours, bad pay and ambulance ass. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often

He's lucky he didn't just code right there and then. Sounds like same artery and same blockage. Same stent placed.

this is a great outcome. I wonder what cpr song was going through his head. Staying Alive or Another one bites the dust.

Exactly.

I wonder, did they get a group discount for the angiogram and the stent/ bypass

people have cpr songs??

Yes we do. Next time your doing CPR sing one. if your sing out loud I would suggest Staying alive, the other one is a bit of a downer.

When AHA came out with their new compression guidelines (100 beats per minute) they recommended singing "Stayin' Alive" to keep pace as the song is about 100 bpm. The downside to all of that is "Another One Bites the Dust" is also 100 bpm. Interestingly enough the Queen tune seems to have a better following.
