If I understand this correctly an AED is not useful in case of miocardial infarct?

Anyway, I think every anamai and school should have one.

AEDs are most successfully used in Sudden Cardiac Arrest situations....like you see during football fields, marathons, public events...etc. While you can defib MI patients, the ONLY real help for MIs is a trip to a cath lab.

Try waterboarding......

I bought an AED, around $1500, defibtech "Automatic". Because you all know what happens if you have a heart attack in rural village: Take your last breaths in the back of a 80's pickup. Saw it many times and they always die.

So with the automatic feature, my wife can also use it in a heart attack situation, if she wants .

Seems to be pretty neat, attach the pads, the AED checks and shocks automatic, survive.

Better to have one in the case a heart attack happens, I am even considering buying this automatic CPR machine. So they can put the stuff on me and throw me onto the back of the pickup - and I will probably still survive.

BDMS hospitals have purchased these and will be using them. They are also installed in a few hospitals upcountry...Khon Kean, Udon, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hat Yai, and a bunch others. They are expensive here in Thailand, but the alternative is counting on a foundation medic to do CPR throughout the transport.

and can understand simple verbal directions from the machine while the machine determines the appropriate treatment

The defib that I keep at my hotel is very easy to use - just follow the verbal instructions .... if you understand English

Do these defibs give the verbal instructions in Thai language??

This is me, biting my tongue...

See my last post.....

Simon, I'm sorry I didn't follow up.

Yes, Zoll defibs sold in Thailand give verbal directions in Thai.

I'm getting a PS4 and BlackOps next month when I go home and bringing back with me......I'll see you around.

There is no such thing as medical privacy in Thailand......I hope when my time comes, my family doesn't see pics of my dead body on Facebook.

Yes, buy domestic products.....we don't want to deal with foreign business because they can ask too many questions. Oh this APC costs X per unit, why did you sell them at 3 times the MSRP? Where did that extra money go?

I thought it was in effect after the new year.....but I could be wrong.

I think General Pryut should define what "mafia" means to him first......then we can decide whether or not it will work.

Go up to the departures....hop the turnstile and flag down a passing taxi to take you. DO NOT get into a parked and waiting taxi or anyone waving you over. Just go out, hop, walk down and flag down a taxi who just dropped someone off. 99% success rate.

I've been here 3 years and they've been the same for me....

This is very easy.....just set a reward for turning in plain and clear video evidence of mafia activities. Videos should be released to the government and Youtube the same day so the video can't disappear or some sort of "misunderstanding".

I'm excited as all get out for this! I live in Pak Kret and the new office will be in Asoke.....So I can get on up here, change over and I'll be there in no time. Way better than the 2 hour traffic jam.

Stickboy has it on Youtube....pretty foul.

Can you imagine the income increase for the boss if you hired 200 more collectors?!?!? Man, that must be nice.

3 years in and I've made a few mistakes. Nothing terrible or life threatening but mistakes nonetheless. I have a great job, great woman, rental house, car....I'm pretty happy. I am positive that learning Thai is the upmost importance if you are going to live here. And overall as soon as you can become independent from Thai services, such as taxis, etc, your life is much easier.

My other choice would have been Colombia. I was there 6 years, fluent in Spanish and had lots of friends. Visas are way easier and so is working.......and Colombian chicks are incredible if you haven't seen them.

Tell Tim Sharky about it....maybe he can look into it.

They are coming in December....being distributed by the big Ducati shop during the MotoExpo. I will try to find a link for it. DON'T believe a Facebook link for RE in Thailand....its a huge fake.

Scroll down to the post on 10/15/2015. So pretty much will be from the Thonglor Ducati shop.....so I have a feeling we will get Ducati Shop in Thonglor prices and not real RE prices. I expect them to be double or triple priced.

Does anyone use a travel agency for regional business travel? I need one to do tickets, hotels, and visas (when needed) and it be billed directly to Singapore office. Yes, I have looked at Google are there are a few, most have bad reviews. Thanks in advance!!

EU can "urge" in one hand and crap in the other.....see which one fills up first.

Mandarin yes....Cantonese, not yet.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have picked Panama or Colombia. Yes, they all have their problems. Police aren't the best, there's always BS in the government etc......But for me personally, being fluent in Spanish already would have made my move easier.

NHealth who is the distributor for all BDMS hospitals, is offering Zoll AEDplus for sale. Public access defibs will be required to have CPR Feedback that shows you the proper rate and depth to achieve high quality CPR.

What other country would you be granted bail for firing an rpg at the defense ministry? Morons......
