I saw this on Unique Charm’s blog and I thought the abstract oil painting on her results was so cool, I ran right over to try the quiz!

Easy! Help A Person Having a Heart Attack. Katie Couric Demonstrates Public Defibrillator.

You may have seen these public defibrillators hanging on the wall in airports, businesses, other public places. It turns out they are SUPER easy to use: push a button and an audio voice walks you through the whole process (pictures too). It could not be simpler — I was impressed. When someone collapses, the first few minutes are so so critical. Check out this video (be patient with the ad that runs first) and you will be prepared to save the day should you encounter this emergency:
