## Resource

At a Costco in Scottsdale, Arizona, three employees saved a customers life during a medical emergency. Barry Baker collapsed, and pharmacists Todd Gookin and Gary Bachmeier, along with manager Mike Weston, sprang into action. They performed CPR, used an AED, and called emergency services. Bakers arteries were sixty percent blocked, but he survived due to their swift response. The fire department honored the heroes, highlighting the importance of training and AEDs in stores for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
