Last week

Unfortunately not all ambulances in Hungary are equipped with defibrillators. There's info on how to donate money for equipment to the ambulance service, unfortunately only in Hungarian.

I saw a man last week
   lying on the floor
Some medics pumped his chest
   then pumped him some more
Some men had gathered round
   soaked in alcohol
What was our man thinking
   just the night before?
No matter by next day
   he'd left his earthly hole.

  1. Is this a reference to a certain best man?

  2. No, you survived! This guy (I assume) had a heart attack and the paramedics (though two ambulances had arrived) did not seem to have a defillibrator, as they were just doing chest compressions..
