AED's automated external defibrillators, used to shock the heart, have been put into all the public schools and public parks over the last 3 years. Cardiac assessment included in academic sports physicals now also.

I asked the American heart association instructor about this when I got my CPR certification. Why now are these all over the place? Especially since in all my 63 years I don't remember more than one instance that these machines might have been good to have on hand. They avoided answering the question which of course confirmed my answer. The clot shots.
I worked at an elementary school from 2013 to 2017 and we always had AED's on site, in every school. I was a nurse so I had to know where they were. I would float to middle and high schools and they had them there too.

Now they are training all staff on how to use them.
