A flashlight that will give you CPR

Juniper Foo | Jun 13, 2008

Coincidentally, this appeared after I'd sounded out the HR department on the possibility of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course for the office staff. One must admit to being relieved that there's never been a need to use CPR since, honestly, if someone were to collapse in front of me, I'd be at a loss. So it's great to know there's a Talking CPR Flashlight (US$35.98) out there, however ridiculous this may sound. Thought you won't feel so silly toting it when a real emergency does pop up. So yes, this step-by-step wizard that will voice instructions in a (very importantly) calm, cool female voice is a boon--and a godsend for the recipient given the kiss of life. There's even a Pause button in case you're too overwrought to listen carefully to the crucial information. That said, there's nothing like sign on for a proper CPR course to complement this portable helpmate.
