BREATHE THROUGH IT

 

A young woman had a panic attack

A side effect of British Railways

My wife and I went to her aid

But I struggled to avert my gaze

From her heaving chesticles

“Big breaths” my wife instructed her

I was still staring at her puppies, and said

“No, but beautifully pert would-be fare”

DO’S AND DON’TS

 

When you find a woman

Collapsed upon the floor

DO loosen her clothing

But only about her neck or waist

DON’T remover her under garments

DO check her pulse

At the wrist or neck

DON’T go straight for her groin

DO check for a heartbeat

This can be done by listening

If no pulse or heartbeat is present

DO perform CPR

This does NOT involve squeezing her breasts

If necessary, DO give mouth to mouth

DO ensure airway is clear

DON’T use your tongue

If CPR has been successful

DO Place her in the recovery position

DON’T put her head in your lap

Especially NOT face down
