Accepted Answer

Common cold: Stay rested, drink lots of fluids and remain hydrated. You can control symptoms with OTC cold preparations and analgesics if necessary. Hope you are better soon.

Question 9

where can i get an aed for my home?

Accepted Answer

Do you need one?: Aed's are very effective and are a worthwhile investment in certain situations. Aed's have been shown to be effective when placed in high density areas (airports, sport stadiums, etc). They have not been shown to be effective for more personalized use. My sense is that if a household member has a high risk of cardiac arrest, an AED is a reasonable investment. If everyone is healthy, reconsider...
