A Tragic Incident at Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010

Saw this article in FB about the incident at KL Marathon yesterday. Its about how inefficient is the authority and the medical team in saving (or preventing) the death of a runner, Lim.

after we performed CPR procedures on Lim for the the third time, finally a St. John ambulance came after around 15 - 20 minutes after Lim collapsed…

we let the EMS officers to take over the CPR and First Aid… Dr. Visva asked whether do they have the AED(Automated External Defibrillator)… one of the person from the EMS said that they do not have it.. then I asked whether do they have a face mask with pump.. they also did not have it there… THEY PRACTICALLY HAVE NOTHING IN THE AMBULANCE!!!!!!!! -.-"
