Seniors learn ‘shock tactics’ to help save lives

Meet the senior citizens whose shocking behaviour could just save your life.

Members of a Cork senior citizens’ club, who range in age from 70 to 92, are being trained to use automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) and to perform CPR.

The members of St Mary’s on the Hill senior citizens’ club in Knocknaheeny will soon be qualified to use the life-saving AED device, which delivers an electric shock directly to the heart of a heart-attack victim.
