Need A Payrise!
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Tue, 2018-07-17 14:56
I just had to perform CPR in the carpark of a reserve near my office to a bloke who’d overdosed on heroin.
Effectively I was driving by after a site visit and saw a woman (also a junkie) performing CPR and ripped into the carpark to assist and then took over the CPR when she began to freak out and wasn’t capable of continuing on at the instruction of the woman on speakerphone on Triple 0. Luckily he’d began very shallow breathing so I only had to do compressions and old mate rose like Lazarus just as the ambulance pulled in.
All my younger years working as a lifeguard and this was my first time giving CPR. It’s a lot easier on a real body than one of those Royal Life Saving dummies!!
Farken shaking like a leaf still!

Lucky you happened to be driving past.
Or were you itching to be added to the "heros" thread tonight after a certain someone has had a few Krakens? ;)

well done to you mate
had to do this a few years ago also. stressful, blood pumping (no pun intended) thing to experience.
always makes me think about if i dropped for some reason whether someone would a) know what to do; b) be willing to do so before it was too late.
couple of nerve steadiers tonight.

One of those things where
One of those things where you either react and help or become a spectator.
A lot of the time it’s a reflex action.
Good to see and hear it had a positive outcome.

Well done mate. hopefully you can calm down and appreciate how lucky he was you were going past. Hopefully it is also the trigger the junkie needs to sharpen up.

Good on you. In this day and age it must be hard to feel safe helping someone like that.
You are a hero. I bet the nerves are still racing.
I did then the best that I knew how. When I knew better, I did better.

Not too often nowadays
you hear of people on the harry h bomb (heroin). Most of the junkies nowadays are all on the glass bbq.
It’s good you did what you did to help old mate stick around. The concerning part is often such people don’t learn the lesson and will be back to old habits before you know it.
But top job for stepping in and helping regardless
cheers

Cheers lads and it’s been a pretty surreal experience and one I always hoped I’d never have to deal with and one I’ll gladly never have to deal with again and had time to reflect on the full situation.

Your point about him being
Your point about him being someone's son, brother , grandson is what it's all about mate. Unfortunately some people carry these demons around with them for life and it's basically a matter of when they pay the piper. I'll tell you what I meant above when I see you.
Love the West!
