There was a story I read from the National Institutes of Health several years ago that said the two "best" places to have a heart attack in America were Seattle and Columbus.

Sad to say that will not be the case without quality pre-hospital care.

the two "best" places to have a heart attack in America were Seattle and Columbus.

No heart attack here in nearby Columbus, but, when I hit a tree after sliding my 1 ton truck off a bridge, I told the Officer my chest hurt a bit (hell, I'd just got impaled by the steering wheel.) He called the EMT guys.

Despite my protestations that I was only bruised and not in arrest, I had a complete and exhaustive, roadside cardiac exam.
