  • I will be honest, I may have missed that one. I do know that there were quite a few spoofs that floated around the web back then too at the height of its popularity, though.

    That being said, I watched the claymation Rudolph the red nose reindeer movie and the scene where Rudolph goes missing and his mom and dad were talking about rescuing him and the dad says “no, this is man’s work” never stuck out to me until being older and playing it in the car with my child. My spouse and I both looked at each other and were like “wow, don’t remember that”. So mileage may vary 🤷‍♂️



















  • Calling 911 is the right way to go. Activating emergency response system. And if you don’t make sure someone else does and tells you they have. So many times people assume someone else called and no one has.

    There was a push at one point in time to teach bystander CPR, which focuses on compressions at a rate of 100-120 a minute with a little less focus on landmarks and more “middle of the chest and go”. It also taught that people typically have about 20 minutes of reserve oxygen in their venous system and that compressions continuously increased survivability by keeping the circulation going through compressions. Considering average ems response time in the US, it seemed to reduce confusion and encouraged more community response (not wanting to do mouth to mouth is a fear people have). Not sure if it’s still being taught, but it was fairly well received at the time.
