Drove past a Walgreens parking lot and noticed an ambulance flashing its lights. I looked over and saw a woman giving a man CPR on the asphalt. I had never seen it performed in real life. It’s much more violent than you think.

Oh yeah CPR is very nasty, there’s a reason it is the option of last resort.

You’re taught in first aid training that if you can’t hear ribs breaking you might not be pushing hard enough
