First Aid



❌ Myth: You shouldn’t shock someone with a defibrillator unless you are certain their heart has stopped


✔️ Truth: This is a major myth. After all, defibrillators, often kept in public places like railway stations, are designed for anyone to use. You don’t have to work out for yourself whether the person who’s collapsed would benefit from electric shocks to startle the heart into rhythm: the machine itself can assess what’s needed. If shocks aren’t necessary, it won’t give them.
