Temples have higher usage and occupancy than a meetinghouse & have “staff”

Yep. We can barely get members to clean the bathroom let alone keep an AED up.

It’s not possible to do that. Don’t accept ignorant reasons

Did he have a history of heart problems or was this a suprise?

Mister P

No idea. I didn’t know them that well.

Giving CPR to your son is never fun.

Church buildings need AEDs. There’s no reasonable excuse.

Apr 18, 5:30pm

I can’t believe they don’t.

Seriously. Needs to happen. How much do they run per unit?

1.5k for a "home" one.

It’s morally and ethically reprehensible to me that every chapel doesn’t have

We have a hard time getting members to clean the buildings. AEDs and the pads

Lives are worth the headache and cost.

Brother cougfanz, sounds like you're volunteering to keep your AED in your car

Bee'ei

Apr 18, 9:12pm

Yep, have one in my trunk. One in my garage as well.

cougfanz

Apr 18, 9:17pm

I respect that

Bee'ei

Apr 18, 9:39pm

Thank you. Agree 100%

No. Most are maintenance free with 2-5 year shelf life of expired components.
