Dan Woolley is crediting the Pocket First Aid & CPR iPhone application from the American Heart Association for saving his life.  Woolley used the iPhone application to treat a leg injury after the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince collapsed around him.

Woolley was able to locate his injuries with the light from his iPhone.  After diagnosing a broken foot, he used the instructions from the Pocket First Aid & CPR application to treat the excessive bleeding from cuts on his legs and the back of his hand. Woolley used his shirt to tie off a 3-inch gash on his leg and a sock to bandage the back of his head. He used the application to look up ways to stop from going into shock.
