Sounds like a snowflake doctor needs a new career.

What a moron.

I’ve done CPR thousands of times.

If the patient is pulseless you don’t defibrillate them.

Placing the leads on can be done by going up or down their shirt and not removing it in front of family members.

Ya know in trauma, we do what we call a “cut down”……….severe trauma requires all clothing removed so we can see extent of injuries or injuries we can’t see with clothes on.

Perhaps this Doctor wants to forgo treating car accident patients too.

I used to do CPR a lot and when you do that first compression on a dead 90 year old cancer patient and break all her ribs, you know there are times you’re not supposed to do it.

By the time I was SAR at night, I always carried an ophtalmoscope, and if they were fixed and dilated when I arrived on scene, a check for “boxcars” (clotted blood in the retinal vessels) was enough to stop it.
