As a Registered Nurse, I am always looking for ways to help in a medical emergency. We had a golfer die on the course last night in my home town very suddenly and I wonder if an AED on site might have saved him. Also, being a remote heavily wooded course it took EMS 25 minutes to get to the scene and 45 minutes to get an AED on site.
Has anyone ever priced or raised funds for (all weather) AED's on the course? What requirements are needed to keep the AED's charged and has anyone else experienced medical emergencies on heavily wooded remote courses and whats the best way to "route" the EMS to the scene?
Before anyone jumps to conclusions, the group he was playing in was 100% sober and there was no warning, he just went down.
thanks everyone for your time. I just want to prevent this from happening again.
