Sometimes, life has an interesting way of taking a turn in a totally different and unexpected direction. I am always wondering what the next lesson is for me to learn...My mom recently fell down, twice, in the middle of the night, and was on the floor of her apartment for a day before her neighbors heard her crying for help. Her legs just went out from under her. Just like that. She has returned home, after 4 weeks in the hospital and a rehabilitation center, now in a wheelchair. We are all so caught off guard. Totally not prepared for this life changing event and we need help. I have hired caregivers to work 15hrs per day to help mom recover and regain the use of her legs. It’s a slow and expensive process that insurance doesn’t cover. The costs are rising rapidly. Two of my best friends @lisamze and @veronicaconway007 have generously launched a #gofundmecampaign on her behalf. We are in serious need of financial assistance. I’m reaching out to you to ask that you take a moment to give anything you can to help my mom walk again. She is determined to gain back the use of her legs but she can’t do it on her own. The caregivers are essential to her recovery. I am spending my days off with her and doing as much as possible but she needs so much more. She deserves to be healthy and mobile. I love her so much and am taking this journey with her, one step at a time. I’ve said it a million times- TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED. Life is this magical precious gift that we get to have. Enjoy it all- the highs, the lows and everything in between. I am grateful for every breath I get to take. Seriously. Catch the link in my bio for the campaign. Give what you can. If you don’t have money, give love and spread positive beams of healing energy. Energy is viral and my mom will receive your good vibes from far and wide. Thanks for hearing me. I need you right now. #ilovemymommy #medicalemergencies #givetothoseinneed #lifeisajourney #togetherwecansucceed #fundraiser #parkinsonsdisease #givethanksforlife #takenothingforgranted #bestfriendsever❤️ #loveyourfamily #spreadgoodvibes #positivemindset

‘Good Samaritan’ App that alerts nearby users to medical emergencies has saved thousands.
.
An ingenious new app is recruiting thousands of Good Samaritans as volunteers for medical emergencies.
If an ambulance is dispatched in response to someone in the midst of cardiac arrest or some other life-threatening emergency, the “GoodSAM” app sends a cell phone alert to first responders and medically trained civilians who are nearby to the person in distress.
The Ambulance Victoria website says that for every minute that a cardiac arrest patient doesn’t get CPR or defibrillation, their chances of survival fall by 10% – so recruiting the help of nearby pedestrians can often make a world of difference for a patient’s recovery.
.
The app’s life-saving potential recently made headlines in Australia after an off-duty paramedic received a GoodSAM notification concerning a 49-year-old man who had collapsed at his Melbourne home in the dead of night.
Since the man lived close to her home, the paramedic was able to rush to his side and give him CPR until the ambulance arrived. “I didn’t even take the time to get out of my pajamas,” the paramedic told 9News. “I just threw on a hoodie and went down to [his] house.” Her quick actions ended up saving the man’s life – and her rescue is just one of the app’s many success stories.
Though the app originally limited its volunteer participants to nurses and professionally trained medical professionals, Victorian representatives are now allowing any regional residents with basic CPR and first aid training to enlist as a volunteer with the app.
According to the GoodSAM website, over 40,000 trained volunteers are registered with the app’s international alert system, and they have already responded to roughly 8,000 alerts. (Story McKinley Corbley)

I’M ALIVE - 17 years ago today I was in the Hyberbaric Chamber at DDRC. 4 days of pure Oxygen and 8 hour chamber dives after a near fatal scuba diving incident. According to medical research I should be dead. Thanks to the incredible and amazing medical team at DDRC and Derriford NHS hospital in Plymouth, I’m alive. So many people; family, friends, colleagues and medical staff went above and beyond. To this day I’m truly, deeply and utterly grateful. #ddrc #plymouth #scuba #scubadiving #diving #diver #scubadivinggirls #devon #medical #medicalemergency #medicalemergencies #hospital #health #fit #active #neardeathexperience #neardeathexperiences #neardeath #gratitude #grateful #derrifordhospital

"NHS 111". I think we've all been in this situation at one time or another. M&C Saatchi's first campaign for the NHS is this comedy promo for phone support service 111 which aims to take some of the pressure off accident & emergency departments and GP practices. If you've ever used it yourself, you probably know it works quite efficiently. M&C give human form to all those competing voices in your head that can't decide if that odd feeling you have is nothing at all or something really serious. -
