Great CPR news story this morning. With proper CPR technique and use of a defibrillator Darrell Parkers life was saved. My whole life Ive known CPR but Ive never had to utilize that experience, but I certainly would (if need be), said Parker. The first person to start doing CPR. he could have made the biggest difference in the whole thing. First person to respond to me -- we dont know who he is, but thank you too.

It is a very stressful time for everyone to say the least. This pandemic can and will have an effect on our mental health. Were sharing some tips to help guide us through this stressful time directly from The Mental Health Commission of Canada. 1. Understand the fight-or-flight response Its normal to feel anxious in the face of a threat. Our bodys fight-or-flight response is designed to keep us safe by heightening our response to perceived danger. Part of that response is... the release of stress hormones, which increase heart rate, blood pressure, and overall alertness. The brain is continuously seeking new informational cues to re-assess the threat level. Unfortunately, if we bombard ourselves with COVID-19 details, headlines, and images, we reinforce the threat signal and perpetuate the stress response. Remember, the information we allow in will affect how we feel and we should monitor that intake with care. Because of the impact stress has on our bodys immune system, managing it during a pandemic is critical to the success of strategies designed to reduce contagion or the severity of the illness...
