C'est pas crédible. Déjà il était au bloc opératoire et pas aux urgences. Et pas besoin de faire un massage cardiaque pendant 12 heures quand on a de quoi intuber le patient, le mettre sur respirateur, et faire une défibrillation si nécessaire. Les anesthésistes ne laissent pas mourir les patients.

As someone who taught First Aid for 15 years, and was an Ambulance Techician many many years ago, this is one of my biggest TV bugbears, and don't get me started on defibrillation on TV!
That, and why are the coffee cups always so obviously empty, put some water in it at least for balance!

No film and no TV series has ever depicted the chest compressions of CPR accurately. You need to push hard, people. Hard enough that you might break some ribs. Not like you're pumping up an airbed. And certainly not with bent elbows.

I went to a #RestartAHeartDay event today in the Town Centre. Really useful to see what I could remember from years of annual training, what had changed and what was new such as using defibrillation kit.
