king_teoby: Administer CPR !!! We need to train people on CPR administration!!! 😮😮😢.
tooshup: The government should mandate that all football/sports facilities must have first responders present whenever a game is going on.
bee_you_ty_udoh: Randomly wake up one day and check your bloodpressure. You may be saving your life.
shukraw: if you are not trained to do CPR do not attempt it because you will do more harm than good.
olu_herodotus: This guy needed a defibrillator but they were standing and looking at him. I called an ambulance for a Russian work colleague today and it took them 3 minutes to get here. I swear living in Nigeria should be counted as an horror film. O ga o.
