My Dad, while traveling on the beltway near Washington, DC, pulled over to help a stranded motorist that had pulled off the highway. While helping the motorist, he suffered a heart attack. When the ambulance arrived, he had already passed away. I always remembered that incident along with the fact that bystanders on the scene possibly could have saved his life but, did not know how to perform CPR. Years later, I applied for and secured a US Patent that assists people with remembering CPR. The patent involves CPR instructions enclosed in a watch housing. It will have "Hands-Only" CPR as I belief people are less intimidated with using this form of CPR. Currently, I am trying to bring this patent to market as I believe many lives can be saved each year if only people would become acquainted with this basic and easy to administer form of CPR. Here is to life!
