There are more than 400,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests a year in the U.S. with a survival rate of less than 10%. Despite 30 years of efforts by health care professionals, there is scant evidence that cardiac arrest survival odds have substantially improved. In 1960, David Morley, MD, a British physician working in Nigeria, where the effects of measles were far more severe than they were in the United States, contacted Dr. Katz. Together, they inoculated Nigerian children with the new vaccine, with successful results. Not long after, the vaccine was tested in national clinical trials, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1963, and is now used throughout the world. Dr. Katz was a world-renowned virologist, pediatrician, and chair emeritus and Wilburt C. Davison Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics at Duke University School of Medicine.
Within both groups, about 21% of symptomatic patients were assessed to be at low risk of heart disease.

Your words will be shared with our management teams, and we hope that despite these initial challenges, you'll consider returning again in the future. Travelled with my 80 year old mother and 87 year old aunt for a "casino" outing. Casino is tight to navigate and heard more than once "this could be a fire hazard"! Chairs are large and heavy - hard to pull out to sit comfortably at a slot machine. Chairs fill the aisles - could not navigate an aisle if there were two players "back-to-back".
On Tuesday, Nov. 1 while flying home toward RDU, a medical emergency was declared approximately 40 minutes into their three-hour flight.
