Barbara Glickstein interviews Tom Maimone, who shares his story. When Tom Maimone collapsed from cardiac arrest during a jog in Palm Beach, Florida, Tom Elowson came to the rescue, performing hands-only CPR to the tune of the Bee Gee’s “Stayin’ Alive,” as he had learned to do on the Today Show from Matt Lauer. Now the American Heart Association has a Hands-Only CPR Mobile Tour, where actress Jennifer Coolidge teaches people the technique of hands-on CPR performed to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive.” Tune in to Healthstyles at wxmrfm.com or wbai.org to hear our interview with Tom Maimone, or listen here. And make sure to check out the Official 2012 Hands-Only CPR Instructional Video!
