Defibrillators are simple to use, and the machine itself tells you what to do to help someone in cardiac arrest. The more there are in the community, the more lives can be saved, and better outcomes can be achieved for those who have a cardiac arrest.
Defib's wonderful LAS family have set up a fund-raiser in his name. Funds will go towards community defibrillators. You, too, can help save lives

Ambulance staff are taught to be brutally honest when giving bad news and today, I have saddest news that Defib has died. You have no idea what it meant for him to stay home with the people that loved him. Thank you all for your support when he needed it.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
I just need to clarify that Defib was very old and clearly showing signs that he was near the end for a while before he passed.
No conspiracy. No management changes have anything to do with him or vice versa.
He died where he belonged.
@mavisblyth@hines_stephen Not an animal-lover then? He meant a huge amount to all the staff who loved him and absolutely was a member of staff. If you think a living creature that has been present in people's daily lives for 17 years or so won't be missed terribly, I'm sad for you.
Defib was a very special and much loved cat who deserved to live out his days in peace. The Internet came good for once and made it happen!
Nose boops for All!
Posting as Me now. Defib was one stray cat who got very lucky. Think of the unlucky ones. Support your local shelter. Neuter and chip. Animals are a lifetime commitment, not a gift to be discarded.
Be nice.
Have you heard? @danielelkeles from @Ldn_Ambulance says I can stay! What a happy cat I am! And you know why? I am going to get soooooo many Dreamies from my lovely friends in LAS to celebrate!
