You just never know what your iPhone will do for you – and the next time someone comments on the cost or extravagance of your iPhone, tell them that if you want to try to save a life, there’s an app for that.

According to a Yahoo.com story, American film-maker Dan Woolley, who was in Haiti to make a documentary on poverty in that country’s capital, Port-au-Prince, was trapped beneath rubble after the hotel he was staying in collapsed. Unable to get help, Woolley was trapped with a broken leg and a bleeding head wound.
Although a fractured leg is serious, a head wound can be much more so. Just remember actress Natasha Richardson’s death after she fell and struck her head while on a ski hill. The bleeding also needed to be stopped. So, what to do?
Using the Jive Media Pocket First Aid and CPR apps on his iPhone, Woolley was able to stop the bleeding from his head wound and treat his leg. Using the alarm function, he made sure to wake himself up regularly.
Now rescued, after 66 hours of being trapped, Woolley likely has some interesting stories to tell.

I am happy that the iphone helped him. But still…this is total 100% exaggeration! There are other words that I could use instead of exaggeration. Anyway, there is no way in hell or high water that an iphone battery could last for 66 hours (and that’s assuming that he recharged the battery seconds before the earthquake, which is likely not the case) or more hours.
How did his battery last so long?
I’ve heard that a lack of Vitamin D during the winter months can affect mood and hormones. Taking vitamin D daily especially during the wintertime can help.
A phone that can save your life! I’ll never make fun of my son and daughter’s iPhones again!
Wow. That is incredible.
