  4. McGee - For a stroke victim, get them to drink 32 oz of orange juice followed by plenty of water and salt as quickly as you can get them to drink it.

    For a heart attack, if they're conscious, get them to start coughing as hard as they can. This may correct the rhythm of the heartbeat. If unconscious, start CPR by alternating breathing into his mouth and using both hands to pump the center of his chest.

    In both cases, make sure 911 has been called.
