During a recent filming of a documentary a U.S. filmmaker, Dan Woolley could have died if it was not for the help of his iPhone first-aid app. The first aid app was able to help Woolley treat his wounds. The filmmaker was crushed by a pile of rubble and used his digital SLR to light up the area and took refuge in an elevator shaft. There he used the app to learn how to bandage and tourniquet his leg and to stop the bleeding from his head wound. The app told Woolley not to fall asleep, therefore set his alarm on his phone every 20 minutes.

In 64 hours a french rescue team save Woolley. The iPhone was able to turn Woolley into an amateur medic. I am sure now that Apple will try to use this wonderful story and turn it into a commercial. I sure know I would. Be safe, go with Apple.
