I was very junior and quite inexperienced, so the actual business of it was done by a more experienced member of staff, but unless there was a DNR order there was never any question of -not- resuscitating. Carers who neglect to save life in such cases should be held legally to account. It is their job, and they are trained for it, and they are paid to use that training.

First is about worker desensitization and the effects of working in positions that deal with the public in traumatic conditions. The second is the positive effect on your direct community by learning basic first aid. The rate of survival is doubled when CPR is performed until someone arrives with a defibrillator. Whilst I don't think anyone can know how they would react when faced by a serious medical emergency (especially when a loved one is involved) reclaiming the skills to look after one another can be empowering and help foster stronger relationships. I know for sure I am scared of the day I have to use the skills I have learned in an attempt to save some ones life. I think this post brings up two interesting discussion point.
