Emergencies: ambulance, 999 and A&E, sentence 9

A defibrillator gives an electric shock to restart a heart with a dangerous rhythm; public ones, often in a box marked AED, give spoken instructions and only shock if the heart needs it; unlike in films, the person often needs more CPR and hospital care, and it doesn't always work.

Who acts: defibrillator, box, public ones, heart, person · What happens: give, restart, mark, speak, need, not work · To what, where: electric shock, heart, AED, spoken instructions, box, defibrillator · Speech: someone speaks here
