Boston 25 News
A North Shore man is hoping to find a stranger who he says saved his life at the Rolling Stones concert at Gillette Stadium.
Tony Palladino and his wife were waiting for the legendary rock band to take the stage on May 30th when he suffered cardiac arrest.
He lost consciousness in his third-row seat while the song ‘Start Me Up’ was playing during introductory music. More
There’s a good news story. I’m sure the guy missed the concert but I hope the lady was able to enjoy it.
Gillette Stadium is a horrible place for a concert. The stands are tall enough to cause multiple echoes.
And in the seats next to him someone was having their 19th nervous breakdown…
I went to school with a guy named Tony Palladino, but he’s already dead so it isn’t him.
He would have died but Saint Peter told him to “get off of my cloud”
It was both a physical and emotional rescue…
I was in a bar once and a guy fell out. The bartender yelled “anyone know CPR?” I hollered I know the whole alphabet. Everyone laughed….well, except this one guy.
Did she kick start him?
You can’t always get an AED you want…
Tony Palladino deserves to find his ‘hero’.
There are seemingly very few heroes today and anyone that is obsessed enough to frantically search for ‘their’ hero in order to say, ‘Thank You’, deserves all the assistance that is available to them.
Lucky for him the STONES weren’t playing their 60’s hit THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME!
She kept his wife from having to paint their red door black.
For now…
^^^^ Or a Doors concert. This Is The End. Not funny really. We had to put our 14 year old Lab down on Monday. And no lets not start the pity party. Great freaken dog and yes all dogs do go to heaven.
Was his rescuer a Black woman?
Because that would give “Brown Sugar” a whole new meaning…
Sorry about your dog Brad, but I’ll respect your wishes not to wear it out, but you lost a family member so I’ll be praying the Lord comforts you and yours.

Thanks pal. I’ll shoot you an email tomorrow.
Instead of “anyone know CPR?”, here in Seattle they call out, “anyone have a Narcan?”. Seattle sucks!
He should have never had the Beast of Burden Burger at Ruby Tuesday before the concert…

“Instead of “anyone know CPR?”, here in Seattle they call out, “anyone have a Narcan?”. Seattle sucks!”
….in fairness, the Rolling Stones have probably had someone start their show more than once with telling the crowd “Dont take the brown acid”, so its not like theyre strangers to drug abuse in any of their eras…
“Seamlessly they came over and applied the paddles, bringing me back to life,”
You were never dead.
Dead is asystole.
Asystole is not a shockable rhythm.
And you werent concious anyway, so how do YOU know it went “seamlessly?
…unless you saw it on YouTube courtesy someones cell phone camera, but Im not gonna go THERE again today…

…I love this joke. Thank you.
I figured Diogenes would say…”No, I don’t know CPR but I know a few CCR classics”….

“I figured Diogenes would say…”No, I don’t know CPR but I know a few CCR classics”….”
…I imagine her as a tall cool woman in a black dress, but thats not a Rolling Stones song so someone needs to go down at a Hollies concert for me to finish that joke…
…The Stones should have sang “After You’re Gone” as the ambulance left…

She posts some of the best quality shit on the intraweb. She can’t be all that cute, she thinks. OK my poor excuse for humor tonight. Plus I never got the topless photos for my birfday. Damn it.
I need to get CPR training.
At my last job, one morning I was having the heart trouble I do from time to time. A woman in the next department saw me and thought I was having a stroke. She went and got help and I was taken care of. I found out later she had been a first aid responde for the company (think of your favorite big membership warehouse store) but lost somebody, she could not be a responde anymore.
A while later, a customer had a heart attack in the parking lot. One of the people who responded was a new first aid responder. That man survived, but the new responder was clearly shaken and he never seamed the same after. A couple of months later, he left.
My strong appreciation goes out to those who truly want to help. It is not a job for everybody. Even those who quit after a short time because they couldn’t handle it, thank you for stepping up to begin with.
In my experience, the EMTs in the ambulance are your best friend. F**k the a**holes in the ER. The EMTs are the one who look after you.
Sorry for such a strong outpouring. Maybe going through a hurricane on Monday is catching up with me. (Thankfully we are pretty much unscathed. But still, it. Catches up to you.)
Thank you SNS.

“I need to get CPR training.”
…everyone should.
Many muni fire departments offer it in some form, sometimes free, sometimes not, and you can also conract the American Heart Association or the Red Cross for info on courses, links below.
https://cpr.heart.org/
https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/cpr/cpr-training
There’s a ton of others and many businesses will offer them to employees as well, minimal searching should yield you lots of results. Get AED training too if you can, its fairly simple and most businesses and schools have one at this point somewhere.
Dont worry about things like being squeamish about rescue breathing. They will probably give ypu a pocket barrier in the course, and most offer a “hands only CPR” varient. Anything is better than nothing.
You never know what you can do till you have to, but most folks got at least one in them. And that one could be your wife or mother, child or friend, but even a stranger is a person someone loves, God loves them if no one else does, and its worth the effort for His sake regardless.
Yes, your patient MAY die even if you intervene; but they will DEFINITELY die if you DONT. CPR trained bystanders increase the odds in every case, and can literally be the difference between life and death.

“At my last job, one morning I was having the heart trouble I do from time to time.”
…praying you get that under control. Chest pains and where they can lead arent fun for anyone.
“A woman in the next department saw me and thought I was having a stroke. She went and got help and I was taken care of. I found out later she had been a first aid responde for the company (think of your favorite big membership warehouse store) but lost somebody, she could not be a responde anymore.”
…that happens. A gal who trained as First Responder at work was real gung-ho, helped me with a couple of female patients during the Coof Goof years, then her father died at home with her and she lost all interest. I havent got the full story but a gather that at some point she tried to bring him back, but couldnt, and that apparently killed either her enthusiasm or confidence in it. A family member made it all the way to RN, then quit when she couldnt save her own son when she found him down too long. Tough stuff to deal with. You have to accept that sometimes God says no and keep on.
“A while later, a customer had a heart attack in the parking lot. One of the people who responded was a new first aid responder. That man survived, but the new responder was clearly shaken and he never seamed the same after. A couple of months later, he left.” Yep, thinking of theoretical dying guy in an airconditioned classroom is WAY different than watching him twitch on sunbaked asphalt in front of you when you are expected to DO something about it. Weird stuff happens like you blowing his snot on yourself if you forget to clamp his nose during rescue breathing or breaking ribs on an older person. When we tried to bring a kid back a couple years ago, it waz my EHS guys first time, and when we paused for AED analysis the kid went “HUUUUH” as we backed off, causing the EHS guy to look at me with such hope shining from his eyes I felt bad that I had to explain to him it was just MY breath coming back out of the kidxs deflating lungs and vibrating his larynx. If nothing else it definitely gives a person a real good look at the fragility of life and the frailty of the human condition, and folks arent always happy processing that for tbe first time. To me its a little silly to try to avoid deatb, because it WILL 100% comr for you ansd yours sooner or later, but to each his own and I never fault someone for knowing their limits.

…count yourself blessed that the storm gave you a pass. Ive a friend in Kingwood outside of Houston still recovering, didnt tear him too bad but still not fun. But all the more reason you should have First Aid and CPR training, I can tell you from exoerience that it may be awhile in a disastsr before you get an ambulance or even have passable roads, so you should have some resources and training for you and yours’ sakes if no one else’s.
Kingwood. Yeah, that’s where we are. An electrician who gets all around the Houston area told me yesterday that Kingwood was the worst hit area that he had seen.
Must’ve been the goats head soup he had earlier.
