I’m an EMT (Basic, but I ride with our Medic). Yesterday I got called to a code: 58yo M supine on the restaurant floor. CPR in progress. Woman doing CPR tells us that she’s a RN, works at the ER: obviously this means that she knows better how to deal with the situation, right? She seems to think so at least. Only problem? The patient was CONSCIOUS, and screaming in pain with each compression. Turns out the guy just fainted, and so she started CPR. Plus, she broke two of his ribs. TARD.
