[quote:Anonymous Coward 35565866:MV8yMTU3MjcyXzM2NDY0MjAwX0M5NEUzNzU1] [quote:Goofy for God:MV8yMTU3MjcyX0Q4OUQ3Njgy] A 911 operator urges a staffer at a senior living center to perform CPR on an unconscious woman. KGET reports. http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t3#/video/us/2013/03/04/nr-cpr-senior-living-center.cnn THIS BRINGS UP A GOOD QUESTION?? After I read To Heaven and Back by Neal I feel we should not always do CPR do you?? [/quote] As I work at an old peoples home I will tell you that some people have a DNR on file, now usually that means we can't help them if they have an attack etc because they want to die. But if we don't have the correct forms, or it is deemed OK to CPR them then we will always follow the 911 operators guidelines regarding CPR. Because all calls are recorded we will use that as our proof in case we are sued for reviving an individual. We've never been sued, but we have been 'told off' before for saving lives and the person/s going on to live a long life well into old age. [/quote]
