Eleven Sudden Deaths in Twelve Days

And still, a year after we were drop-kicked into the stunning reality that kids' hearts do stop suddenly and without warning, more and more and more and more kids are dying...

What's it gonna take to get EKGs to be offered to every family for every annual well-child visit so we can prevent this from happening so often?

Why don't we have a national database of children who have died from sudden cardiac arrest so we can start to piece together what's going on?

UGH.
