Today, I was performing CPR on a woman on her floor while her internal defibrillator kept firing, making her whole body jump. When it fired, her hand went straight up into my nuts. FML

Today, I went to a first aid training course. I had to lie on the floor and pretend I was unconscious. We were supposed to be doing the recovery position, but the guy I was working with decided to perform CPR instead and grope my boobs in the process. FML

Today, while dining at a restaurant I heard a women choking. I immediately ran to her, wrapped my arms around her and started giving her abdominal thrusts. She freed herself and slapped me. Turns out she wasn't choking, she was just laughing. FML

Today, I received a call while at the dispatch station for the Naval hospital I work at. It was a woman having a panic attack. Apparently, she couldn't plug her vacuum in, and was more or less freaking out. I had to take her in anyway. FML

Today, I was woken by my alarm. I got really tangled up in my blankets, and struggled frantically to untangle myself so I could turn off the alarm. I not only kneed myself in the face, but I accidentally punched myself in the nuts too. Hard. FML

Today, while trying to pull a nail out of some wood with a crowbar in my theatre class, my girlfriend, who was holding down the wood with her foot, thought it would be funny to move her foot and make me lose my balance. Instead, the crowbar flew up and struck me in the nuts. FML

Today, at the gym, I see a person laying unconscious on the ground with people crowded around. Previously being a lifeguard, and knowing CPR, I ran over and asked a man what happened, preparing to check his vitals. I then realized that the body was a dummy and the employees were doing a drill. FML

Today, my rescue squad unit responded to a 911 call from a woman who felt she was going to pass out. We knocked on her locked door a couple times with no answer. Fearing she might be unconscious, I kicked in the door. She was about to open it and only passed out from the concussion I gave her. FML

Today, I was working as a lifeguard. A woman began to have a seizure. Nervous, I went into shock and walked into a tree, knocking myself out. Post seizure, the woman stood up and walked away. Later, I woke up in the hospital. The ambulance had arrived to take her, but ended up taking me instead. FML

Today, I was volunteering at a nursing home calling bingo numbers. One woman stood up and started making noises, so I assumed she had won and started clapping. She then fell on the floor and died of a heart attack. I essentially applauded her death. FML

AICD's have been around for a long time. they work the same as the pads, sending massive wattage across your heart and will cause a convulsion in the limbs. go google it ffs.

Never, NEVER perform CPR on someone when a defibrillator is working, if you were actually certified in CPR, you would know that instead of just being some jack ass whose trying to be a hero

cucuto he clearly stated it was an INTERNAL defibrillator, there's not a whole lot he can do about it if it's firing. It could have been malfunctioning and repeatedly shocking her even if she was in asystole, or the shocks may have not been enough...ever see vertical pacer spikes on an EKG? And you do CPR on anyone who needs it, internal defibrillator firing or not...if it was an EXTERNAL defibrillator, on the other hand, and he did a compression during a shock, I don't think he'd be sitting here posting the story on the internet. The FML could have just been the embarrassment, especially if it was really noticeable and in view of the family...it didn't have to cause a great amount of pain for it to be an FML. And #30 where on earth did you learn to straddle people during CPR? Zimbabwe? If anything doing that would make his crotch harder to reach, assuming her arms are at her sides...what, are they going to rise up AND come medially into his junk? Talk about people who think they know what they're talking about...you're in the medicine field huh? What are you, the registration clerk?

if her defib sensed that she needed to be defibed then that means that her heart was still beating, but irregularly, so then CPR wouldn't be necessary.
