Default RE: AMA and Disabilities

Fritzthecat I read your comments about discrimination.Two years ago on St. Patricks day we had a club fun fly with many entrants. One of the members had a heart attack. we are 12 miles from the nearest medical facility and no phone. We fly at a landfill and have to depend on cell phones. The area that we are in has dead spots. That happened when my defib went off and it took the ambulance 17 minutes to get there. If I didn't have the defib I'd be pushing up daisys now.I took this individual to the hospital and on the way gave him a couple of nitros to help. It was a wild 15 minute ride and they put him into intensive care immediatly. A month later he was flying and the BOD could have cared less. I on the other hand not very well liked by a couple of the BOD members was their scapegoat. kennyo
