WELLNESS 100 Dr. Wise looked at Sean with a scowl. \"This is serious, Sean. You are a prime candidate for a heart attack at age 48. Your blood cholesterol level is 310 mgldL, you have high blood pressure, you're overweight, and you don't exercise.\" Sean left Dr. Wise's ofce feeling depressed, so he went to see a movie at the PLEX Theatre in the Metro Mall. Although he was irritated by the commercials that were run prior to the showing of the movie, he thought that the movie was outstanding. After the movie, Sean dined on sprouts and seaweed at a health food restaurant. Not thrilled with the prospect of a continued health food diet of sprouts, seaweed, and sawdust, Sean resolved to exercise more. He hoped that exercise would result in his losing weight and the lowering of both his blood pressure and blood cholesterol level. The morning following his visit to Doctor Wise, Sean had an intensive discussion with his wife, Naomi, regarding his health and lack of exercise. Naomi had joined the local \"Wellness 100\" the previous year with the expressed intent to \"get in shape.\" Subsequent to herjoining Wellness 100, Naomi had continually encouraged Sean to join her at the spa telling him \"since starting my workout program I feel great and I think the exercise would be good for your health.\" Sean was steadfast in his refusal to join his wife at Wellness 100 telling her that her \"constant nagging about his health and exercise did nothing but cause an increase in his blood pressure.\" However, following this latest discussion regarding Sean's visit to Doctor Wise, Naomi asked Sean if he would at least accompany her to Wellness 100 that morning to watch her exercise. Sean agreed, saying \"I'll just drop you off and pick you up after your session is over.\" Sean did just that. He drove Naomi to Wellness 100, dropped her off and returned to pick her up. Naomi was not waiting outside of Wellness 100 when Sean arrived to pick her up so Sean parked his car and entered Wellness 100 to wait in the lobby until his wife was nished. Sean found a seat in the lobby where he could sit and wait. While waiting for his wife, Sean suddenly collapsed to the oor. A Wellness 100 employee saw Sean collapse and rushed to his side. He checked Sean for breathing and a pulse. Determining that Sean was not breathing, had no pulse and appeared to be unconscious and unresponsive, the employee directed that Emergency Medical Service (EMS) assistance be called. The Wellness 100 employee then began administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The only medical aid that the employee was able to administer was CPR since Wellness 100 did not have an automated external debrillator (AED) on the premises. The employee continually administered CPR until two emergency medical technicians (EMTs) arrived 12 minutes after being summoned. After assessing the situation and determining that Sean was still not breathing, had no pulse and was unconscious, one EMT assumed the continued administration of CPR while the second EMT attached electrode pads from an AED that was one item of the EMT's emergency equipment. Following proper procedures, the EMT administered a rst shock, then a second shock, and then a third shock, in accordance with appropriate guidelines. The EMT was unable to discern a pulse. CPR was resumed for one minute. There still being no pulse, an additional set of three quick shocks was administered. Again, no pulse was detected. Sean was transported to the nearest emergency trauma center. While transporting Sean to the trauma center, the EMTs continued with CPR and debrillation in compliance with appropriate procedures. Upon arrival at the trauma center, Sean's care was transferred to the on-duty physician. Subsequent attempts to revive Sean failed. An autopsy performed following Sean's death indicated that he did not die from a heart attack but rather from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). According to medical experts, the only accepted treatment to restore an effective heart rhythm in victims of sudden cardiac arrest is debrillation using an automatic external debrillator (AED). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) alone is not effective in treating SCA Sean's wife, Naomi, is contemplating suing Wellness 100 for negligence.
