That thought occurred to me around 8-9 years ago while I was poking around my damp basement, trying to figure out why the circuit breaker down there kept tripping.

So as a precaution I went out and spent $800 on a device I keep easily accessible in an emergency, yet out of reach of children.

All my family members know where it is and have been trained in how to use it.

It's a reconditioned AED.
