CPR keeps you 'Stayin' Alive'
On March 9th, New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV Channel 4 did a story on CPR. Living in the south we have made sacrifices to our health to enjoy great food as well as engaging in risky habits like smoking. This leads to an increase in health hazards such as heart disease which could shut down our bodies and put us into cardiac arrest. Check out WWL-TV's story on how CPR could save lives.
