She start giving compassion to meā¦. with every compression I could feel my heart pumping, struggling to force the blood to my brain.Ā She ran back to kitchen to get our home AED unit. As instructed, she placed the first pad above my right nipple underneath the clavicle and placed the second pad on my left breast underneath the armpit.
