While shooting pool at our "game room" up here at UNF, all of the sudden a guy who was playing ping-pong set his paddle down and fell over. He started to have major problems breathing, and then he started to pee himself. Next his pulse slowed way down and he was only breathing every thirty seconds or so. This was about the time the on campus PD showed up, and they hooked him up to an "automatic" shock paddle thing, and they used it twice to get his heart back going. They then tried to perform CPR unsuccessfully. By this time the real paramedics came and took off the temporary "shock paddles" and put on the heavy duty ones, I heard him flat line twice, and they had to breath for him. He was put on an IV immediately and had something else injected into him. When he was carried out on the stretcher they were breathing for him, and his heartbeat was very, very erratic. I asked an employee if he had made it or not when I was in there today, and the employee informed me that he had died but they did not know of what. I am not proud to say that I saw someone in the final moments of his life; in fact, I wish I never saw it, and I hope I never have to see it again. It kind of took the "invincibility" of my thinking away temporarily I think, and has made me think of a lot of issues. The guy was not a student, but certainly not old, he was probably in his 30s or so, and of Asian decent. I heard he had two kids and a wife as well. No one knew even as much as his name in the entire game room, not even the person he was playing. He had no keys or wallet on him or anything like that either. After the paramedics left they asked all witnesses (rather told) to stay and write out a detailed account of what we saw. That was my first inclination that he may die. I really hope I never have to see that again, and I feel so sorry for the man as no one was there that knew or really cared about him personally in the last moments of his conscious life. Thanks for reading,
Ryan
