I am the soul of diplomacy and tact.

I've personally done CPR on at least 65 people...maybe nearer 100. I dunno....I've never counted.

I'd say 1/2 of those make it..to another hospital room. And probably more than half of those don't make it out of the hospital.

CPR is done on thousands of people that have multiple co-morbidity's. And the odds of surviving CPR are real bad....

FWIW-

[Slings and Arrows]

Sounds reasonable to me.

The only time I was involved in CPR was when I was a volunteer EMT. Trauma arrest; bagged the patient for 40 miles. You can guess the outcome.

P.S. I take it you’re a health care professional working in hospital. No doubt field and layperson CPR would have a poorer track record.

[Osage Orange]

That would be correct...
