A hospital consultant told my late wife that only 8% of people survive a cardiac arrest at home; not much consolation to know, only 12% survive one in hospital.You can apply that to CPR, I've had folks say "I don't know how to do CPR" my answer is if someone has had a cardiac arrest you may as well have a go as they can't get any worse.
I started as a kid. Discovered one of the easiest ways to get into the guts of many things was simply chuck 'em up in the air over a concrete driveway . . . I've still got screws and bits from those days - but the times the odd one has got me out of the do-dar, its been worth it.Geez...so I'm not the only one who does this I see!

I'm one of the 8%, thanks to my wife, at the time a 69 year old retired nurse.
I cared for her during her 14 month battle with cancer but it was lamentable hospital care (shortage of staff and poor management) that hastened her death not a cardiac arrest. I couldn't repay the debt I owed her.
I think.i would be worried how hard they were working them if they had that many going downI'll say one thing for Rover, they tried to look after their workforce, each section had at least one first aider, each building had a nursing station staffed by a qualified sister and one of the coronary care equipped ambulances could be anywhere on site in 2 - 3 minutes, they had a 75% success rate of delivering heart attack patients to hospital still breathing

I'm going to have to tip our 8 year old washer dryer for the sake of a couple of £10 bearings not being replaceable. The pesky drum housing doesn't split into two - it's a sealed unit. Very irritating - cue £300+ for a replacement.
On the subject of fasteners though, I've had tins full for years, and never seem to find the ones I need. I'm now starting to (gulp!) throw them away.
Hotpoint eh? Worth remembering that next time I buy a new one!When I was at collage a very long time ago. Our TD instructor was a retired hotpoint engineer. he designed some type of drive for a drum. He was told 'great, that will be easy to manufacture and will last a long time. Now go away and design it to fail after a certain amount of time'
That's the least of their worries. Remember the dryer fires?Hotpoint eh? Worth remembering that next time I buy a new one!

I could repeat your post word for word sadly, except I’d be talking about my mother. It leaves a feeling of guilt, sadness, and helplessness.A hospital consultant told my late wife that only 8% of people survive a cardiac arrest at home; not much consolation to know, only 12% survive one in hospital.

My mum passed in February but instead of feeling sad I felt relieved as she was so ill she would not have wanted to live like that.I could repeat your post word for word sadly, except I’d be talking about my mother. It leaves a feeling of guilt, sadness, and helplessness.
