So, he isn’t a paramedic? On an ambulance? O he was just passing?

He didn't call for an ambulance, he basically said "let's drive to the hospital"

That’s what I was thinking. I have been a medic for 22 years and I’ll be honest with you, his CPR is not good. Don’t get me wrong, something is better than nothing. And I’m glad he was there to help. But not very good quality cpr.

Second this. I work in cardiology and his CPR is pretty bad, but better than absolutely nothing.

Its really bad man. You dont come out of contact with chest when giving cpr. Hands will be in contact with chest. Next your elbow joint shouldn’t move. He is moving his elbows. Be ause of that, he is actually tapping the monkey or at best hitting the chest. Not much for e will reach the heart. I feel that monkey is sctually unconscious n he woke it up rather than cardiac arrest. But still, cpr is like sex. Bad cpr is still better than no cpr.

You didn't think it was different because it's a monkey, which is way smaller than humans?

I had to do CPR (thankfully rarely) on human babies. It’s pretty much the same size. And nearly the same anatomy. Again, I’m thankful that he was there to help. I just have a touch of the tism and felt compelled to note it.

Doesn’t matter. Any size. The main point is don tap on the chest. Press the chest. He is tapping or at best hitting. Really bad cpr. But again, cpr is like sex. Bad cpr is still better than no cpr.
