[QUOTE=PaugusBayFireFighter;215849]If you suspect a heart attack, chewing a 325mg aspirin will DRAMATICALLY increase your survivability, I can't stress this enough...it's the very first thing the medics or ER staff would do. It's easy to carry and you should have aspirin readily available. Pocket books, glove box, wallet (buy the single dose pack for a wallet, it it breaks when you sit on it, who cares)...

You are right, I know this from my first responder training. However I have never had a heart issue and am in good shape. I looked in my fanny pack at my meds bottle but only had antacid and Aleve. I used to carry asprin but switched to aleve. I'll have Asprin from now on though.
