The Need for AEDs

Last month, I posted an article about a man who died from cardiac arrest while riding a commuter train to Chicago. Like many people, I asked the question why Automated External Defibrillators - required on airplanes by federal law - aren't present on most trains. The Chicago Tribune is keeping attention on the issue, writing how Boston became the first major commuter line to install the life-saving devices on all its trains.

It's time for the rest of the country to follow their lead.
