How to Save a Life

One hears about guys having heart attacks or storkes during sex. I've seen the suggestion that 75% of these occur with sex workers. I can't imagine that the 75% figure is anything more than a guess. How could you possibly accurately derive such information even on a sampling basis?
Nonetheless, it does make sense that heart attacks and strokes would occur on occasion with providers and dancers; sex is strenuous physical activity, and sex with providers and dancers is frequently more exciting and adventurous than the stay at home kind. It must happen not only with escorts, but occasionally in clubs that provide extras.
I might suggest that providers, dancers and other club personnel (hostesses, bartenders, bouncers, even owners) consider this possibility ahead of time and develop some ideas as to what to do. Thinking ahead is always easier than in the stress of what may be a life and death situation. Being prepared, it seems to me, has the advantages of being responsible and ethical, as well as inviting good feelings towards providers and clubs. Good PR one might say. Also the scout motto.
Easy things to keep at hand:
Knowledge about the modalities of securing access to emergency medical care in your community. Usually 911 is the place to go when death may be the issue. But with cell phones, you need to know how to get the ambulance to your door. An ambulance is better than a hearse.
Aspirin; give him an aspirin to chew if it's a heart attack. I'm not sure about a stroke.
Fresh air and clearing the room of smoke won't hurt.
More difficult, but worthwhile to some I'm sure, is developing more knowledge so that the provider can diagnosis the problem more accurately, report symptoms and other observations to the 911 personnel more helpfully, and even be aware of some steps helpful to a client who has suddenly become a patient. For instance, what parts of the body to elevate; what to do about loosening clothing (although this may well not be an issue); having an awareness of what drugs the patient may take—Viagra is obvious, but there could be many others.
Many providers might want to take a CPR course, which could have much to offer. Clubs might want to encourage this for their more permanent personnel. Imagine the story a provider, dancer or other club personnel could write about saving a life; and imagine the feelings she would get from the experience. Wouldn't be bad PR for the club either.
I think providers and sometimes dancers could be a source of many important observations about potentially dangerous health conditions. Providers are, for instance, frequently in a good position to observe most of the skin and to see signs of jaundice, skin cancer and other conditions. Some, given a little training, could digitally examine the prostate, and advise seeking medical advice about conditions that might suggest prostate cancer. They could even charge for the exam!
I think society misses a great opportunity when providers, dancers and other club personnel are not given extensive diagnostic and emergency medical training.
Perhaps, next would be defibrillators in clubs. Probably only when a significant part of the clientele is a bit older.
Is this a great idea or what?

If one worries about whether your average sex worker knows what to do, she had gotten dressed, taken all the cash from my wallet, had her cell phone in hand about to call 911 and leave. I assured her I wasn't dead, got some of my money back and bid her adieu. My doctor later told me she thought it was a panic attack. Who knows? But I found it reassuring that she would take care of herself before worrying or even checking on me.
Simply require these in ALL Businesses. Heart Attacks don't discriminate.
Weirdly, the same rules seem not to apply to companies' head offices.
I'd love to see numbers on heart attack rates in the clubs. I looked but couldn't find any.
Death is part of the corporate ladder climb.
GREAT!!!
Automatic External Defibrillators may well be VERY costly to buy & maintain, BUT if you are perhaps a high level exec at a company that DOESN't have them and you have a heart attack - well they might NOT look SO expensive then.
Perhaps it will take a law suit or two to change minds.

--ROFLMAO!!! What a hustle: "Would you like a prostate exam, baby?" I never realized those 'nurse' outfits had real significance.
