  I'm thinking of carrying an AED around in my car for others just in case. Check with a lawyer in your region/state before doing this. Good Samaritan laws are not universal worded the same and my not cover things like using your AED or providing medication to others. Most of these laws would cover performing basic CPR. It's awful, I know. If you have someone with you have them call the emergency number for your region and note the time you started CPR. If you are trained in your workplace to use AED's and you are part of a workplace safety team then you would be advised if you are protected to use the AED on coworkers. What's a good budget one to buy? For personal AED's I would read all the negative reviews on Amazon as makes and models come and go. Mine isn't even sold any more so it's probably time to replace it.
