I want to go out like my dad did, peacefully- in his sleep, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

My dad died standing up in the kitchen getting his pills before he went to bed. He was dead before he hit the floor. I spent 30 minutes on him doing CPR before the EMT's showed up.

Spent 20 minutes on my father in law doing CPR on him before the EMT's showed up for him.

He died sitting in his lazyboy talking to my first wife.

I'm 0 for 2 doing CPR.

My mom's fiance had a massive heart attack the week before there wedding. He was taking an afternoon nap. My brother was there he is a fireman and did CPR until EMS should up. He didn't survive either. The statistics show that only about 2% heart attack victims survive with CPR when they have gone into full arrest. The electric paddles work the best if they can be applied immediately.

It blows my mind that the number 1 killer in ICU wards is Sepsis, with all the available medicine, experts, and equipment that they have at their disposal. To think that my brother pulled through having sepsis last summer (and renal failure... with no residual effects today)... puts me in awe and thank the big guy above!

Agreed he is very lucky, I lost my best friend/brother in law to it when he came down meningitis. He was gone in 48 hours. It was tragic as he left behind his wife, my e wife's sister and a 18 month old baby. We all were in upstate NY on vacation. I had left an was at my grandmother's house in MS when I got the call he was in the hospital and on his death bed. I drove 20 hrs straight through to get there. After his family arrived from Phoenix, his wife an I made the decision to take him off of life support. I held his hand while he took his last breath. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. That was in 1995. Life sucks sometime!!!
