SATURDAY, Nov. 11, 2017 -- America's hang-ups over sexuality and gender could cost women their lives when their heart suddenly stops, a new study suggests.
Simply put, women suffering from cardiac arrest in a public setting are less likely to get lifesaving CPR from a passerby than men are, researchers reported.
"When it comes to life and death, we need to reassure the public that we're not worrying about what seems socially inappropriate or taboo," said senior study author Dr. Benjamin Abella. He is director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Resuscitation Science.

Why don’t these idiots ever learn they can catch more flies with honey.
Women and minorities hardest hit...
I’m not getting arrested for Inappropriate touching or sexual abuse. If you infarct... You are on your own baby!
“Sorry, Darlin’. I may run for office someday.”
Who’s going to do CPR with a female these days. in 15 yrs they’ll turn and accuse you of molesting them.
is that the point they’re trying to make?
I held a glass door open this week. I could see a woman walking briskly towards them. I was about to enter, she was about to leave.
I paused and held the door open so we didn’t collide passing through the doorway.
She avoided the open door, opened the other one and said “thanks anyway”.
Fine. Next time I’ll just barge on through (I’d arrived first) and ignore any bitchy comments.
And children? Oh wait. :)
30 years as a firefighter doing CPR on full arrests and I can emphatically state this is BS. We were definitely more careful with modesty with females but not in vigorous CPR.
It’s a very traumatic procedure often with clothes being cut off, chest bones getting broken, and all sorts of IVs, Oral Airways, and electric shocks.
Most witnessed full arrests don’t recover, and 99% of unwitnessed full arrests die, male or female.
“America’s hang-ups over sexuality and gender could cost women their lives when their heart suddenly stops, a new study suggests.”—reluctance to put your mouth on a stranger you’re not married to isn’t a “hang-up”, except perhaps for immoral morons like Dennis Thompson.
Just one more reason Bruce Jenner is wrong.
Well...DUH!
“Thank you for saving my life. You are under arrest for touching my chest.”
Nailed It !
There was one case where an entire volunteer EMT squad was brought up on charges of sexual assault. A woman had done an amazing job of turning her car into a pretzel (really bad wreck), where the automobile extrication was a real challenge. The only place to get a pulse was via the femoral artery, the rest of her was behind a mass of twisted wreckage. Thus the woman accused the entire EMT squad of rape.
After a long trial, the volunteer EMT squad was found not guilty. At the end of the trial, the fire chief told her that if she had another accident in the county, no EMT squad in the county would touch her.
Yup.
“Why are you crying, kid.”
“I’m lost!”
“Well, that’s a damned shame.”
Simply put, women suffering from cardiac arrest in a public setting are less likely to get lifesaving CPR from a passerby than men are,
I believe this. My CPR instructor said, I don’t care if it’s a 14 year old girl, you expose the chest.
emphatically state this is BS.
