An honest, actual recovery with CPR is less than half of that 3% ‘success’ rate that gets bandied about. A true, ‘this person actually healed up and had a life afterwards’ recovery is less than half a percent.
It’s freak accidents that happen to young people. Like 45 or younger.
Most people getting CPR are medically fragile already-hence the fucking heart stoppage-and foisting a chestful of broken ribs on top of whatever chronic ailments they already have does nothing but extend their suffering.

Where’s your tattoo that says you’re an ignorant cunt?
EMTs and paramedics aren’t allowed to acknowledge DNR tattoos, you literally have to file paperwork in your fucking county to have a signed, notarized DNR mean anything.
And they’re still going to break every goddamn rib in your chest before they look up the paperwork
