    That I call a service oriented attitude.

    I didn't know prostitution was legal in Switzerland - I thought it was only legal in the Netherlands and some German states. Apart from that, yeah, if it is a considerable risk it could help. It may not happen nearly as often as drunk driving deaths, but it's certainly a situation everyone would much prefer to avoid.

    Still, this has some potential for hilarity. What's next, prostitutes requiring to take medicine courses, in order to determine if their clients may have STDs, maybe moonlighting in a local hospital... Heck, imagine someone who's bleeding entering a bar limping and shouting "Is there a hooker in the house?"

    Ah well, the company I work for has defibrillators on every floor now. In Munich they are in every subway station, with easy to understand instructions. They have become a common sight.

    To use them in brothels, too ... in light of the simple formula
    Code:
    horny geezers + viagra = possible exertion
    the idea makes a lot of sense. Arguably the need is greater there than in offices or public places. Swiss brothels have by now apparently a body of evidence, so to say, to establish that the risk sketched above does in fact manifest itself in real life.

    Nah, publishing house, very non-scandalous :p Defibrillators are right next to the first aid kit and the emergency plans.

    Damn good idea. The more people who learn to use them, the better.

    As an ex nurse, I think it's brilliant regardless of who's doing it. Plus, the idea of hookers getting medical training to check for STD's isn't a daft idea either

    Better service/disease prevention may be on of the benefits of legalization & regulation of prostitution.

    And I have to say that is and effort to ensure good service.
