The dumbest take I've ever heard is "but what if I harm them further while doing CPR?" A person who needs CPR is functionally dead. If they come back to life, a couple of broken ribs is a small price to pay.

@digitalraven@retro.pizza Yes, 100% agree, should be taught in school and every workplace! Not sure where you live, but in the UK, emergency defibrillators are increasingly common in public buildings/village halls/old phone boxes/anywhere

@digitalraven@retro.pizza Thank you for this. When I was taking first aid they told us to prepare ourselves for the fact that most of the people we might revive, would probably be dead in two days, which is maybe the most demoralizing thing you can tell someone who's working hard to learn CPR. Hearing about someone who survived helps keep that out of my head.
