I had gone through CPR training right before I had Stevie, but like so many other things stored in my mind, motherhood had overwritten that file.

cadavers, was CPR training, my second time doing it. The first time, back in college, had been farcical, unserious, everyone laughing: the terribly acted videos and limbless plastic mannequins couldn’t have been more artificial. But now the lurking possibility that we would have to employ these skills someday animated everything.

You’d think that they’d at least teach you the basics,” Sherry said, feeling aggrieved with the Catholic Church all over again. As if there weren’t enough wrong with them, they had to bogart all the anti-demon trainings. At the moment she’d give almost anything for a nice, modern, Unitarian Universalist exorcist. The Unitarian exorcist would probably be a Montessori school administrator with a master’s degree in social work with a focus in cross-cultural sensitivity in evil-spirit extraction. “You don’t have to be a doctor of demonology, but they could at least have given you the hour-long CPR certification course version, just in case there’s an emergency.

Bend, lift, heave, groan. Hey Dad, remember how you used to say I wasn’t afraid of hard work? Well, guess what I’ve been doing. Building the railway for the CPR, that’s what, with the Chinese coolies. Yes, really. Who me, delirious? Not a chance. Yes, I’d like to take a train trip through the Fraser Canyon when I get back to my time.

from my Linkedin post:
The sudden cardiac arrest of a Buffalo Bills football player, Damar Hamlin reminds me as a cardiologist that widely available, basic life support classes teach the two primary determinants of victim survival:
-time to initiation of effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation,
-time to electrical defibrillation.
As described in my memoir, Different Drummer;
"Cardiac resuscitation has evolved from physicians cutting open a patient's chest and rhythmically squeezing the victim's heart...to closed-chest compressions at a rate equal to the song Stayin' Alive'...
Defibrillation can now be administered by trained laypeople using an automated external defibrillator, a device that is often available in public facilities...

They’re trained in CPR, you know.” “And a variety of other special skills,” I said dryly, trying not to be annoyed. “Is he single? Cute? Any red flags?

One of them, taken of a young woman pulled from the Seine in the early 1800s, is now the most kissed face in the world, appearing on the very first CPR training doll, Resusci Anne, in 1960. Albert Camus, who kept a copy of the mask, called her the drowned Mona Lisa.
