Photograph caption dated March 10, 1962 reads, "A new method of cardiac resuscitation is being taught Valley ambulance rescue personnel. Dr. Arthur Feinfield, right, shows fireman Vincent Pratt, left, how to apply external manual pressure to the breast bone, which, in turn, circulates blood by squeezing the heart. Fireman Jack Bennie serves as 'victim' for the demonstration held recently at Valley Doctors Hospital, North Hollywood. 'Many lives have already been saved in Los Angeles by this type of massage,' said Feinfield. Capt. Joseph Schenkein, head of the rescue maintenance squad for the Los Angeles Fire Department, watches in the background."
