1 year agoI saw the same. I was just about tempted to slide back and browse quickly on my lunch break, then I saw that and just noped out of there. This place is building up quickly and strongly enough that I probably won’t bother going back to reddit if he’s going to keep up with this nonsense; I don’t really need that sort of BS negativity.
Yes, CPR is brutal and more often than not ineffective. That TV trope where someone gets a few compressions suddenly coughs and sits up all alive and healthy again is complete BS. Literally never happens.
My wife’s a paramedic and in seven years has only seen someone spontaneously regain pulse after CPR twice - and that’s with a team of highly trained professionals and a whole bunch of fancy equipment.
Still worth trying in many cases though, but it’s certainly not a miracle procedure and not something that should automatically be done in every case.
