Comment on Risks of CPR

Let’s analyze it this way.
Risk of dying from a lack of blood flow. 100% Risk of dying from a punctured heart from CPR. <100%
Do CPR. Get training. Most of the time, what you hear is cartilage popping.

You do in fact break bones if you’re doing it right. Think of it this way, if you’re doing CPR, the patience is already dead, nothing’s worse than death, so bringing them back in whatever condition is going to be better than what condition they’re already in, which I may remind you, is death

I would argue that ‘any condition’ isn’t really better. If they return as a vegetable, wouldn’t their loved ones ultimately rather remember them as they were before, instead of wiping their shit for a miserable decade?

That may vary depending on the family member. I have seen disputes amongst family as to which treatment is the best course of action.
