AEDs are the shit and appear to be everywhere now. THey're damn dummy proof too. Damn thing talks to you and has pretty pictures. Though, even though it yells at you "everybody clear" then puts off funny sirens and all, I'm waiting for the day someone doesn't clear and gets the shit shocked out of them.
