Yeah but the mob around me watching me touch her breasts might not know that.

I’m not CPR certified or anything, but I think if you’re just grabbing titties you’re probably doing it wrong.

Can you post any example of a mob attacking someone for performing CPR on a woman?

Seems like a pretty wild assumtion that you will be attacked for helping someone in a life threathening state by some nebulous “them.”

For sure! But I didn’t say you WERE grabbing titties, just that you’re perceived to be.

I mean just getting the electrodes on for a defibrillator you have to lift their shirt…

Can you see that being perceived poorly?

Unlikely that someone holding a defibrillator next to someone passed out on the ground is going to be perceived poorly.

You also need to make sure their bra doesn’t have an underwire and remove it if there is.

Even though you’re joking I wouldn’t be surprised if someone did react like that. “Uhhmmmm, that’s no CPR, you’re just fondling her! I know because I went to CPR training.”

The instructors advise you to speak aloud your actions as you do them. Also helps if you have already levelled out instructions to the rent a crowd to perform specific tasks like send for help and get the defib and you three who said yes to cpr training let’s line up and take turns doing cpr.

…of course, the training to be comfortable giving these instructions is not really done.

Absolutely!

And what if you’re outside a bar and everyone is drunk?

Unfortunately life doesn’t provide ideal scenarios, not to mention that under the duress of what you’re doing you may forget steps.

I’m not saying that fondling an unconscious person is the same as cpr, but that perceptions are funny things.

Then put whichever Karen looks fiercest in charge of compressions. Either she’ll get in there and do them, or she’ll demur, in which case you say you will and she should watch so she can start when you get tired. That makes her your witness. Don’t forget to tell someone else to call emergency services.

By the time you try to convince any Karen to do anything, the person would have died.

Good point. On the other hand if you tell her to start, and when she starts to object you say fine I’ll do them until i get too tired, she’ll feel like she won the argument which is a step in the right direction.

If you’re touching her tits, you’re not giving proper CPR. Proper CPR happens just below the sternum. That’s well below any kind of bra band. If her tits are that low, she’s either an EE cup or 80 years old.

Huh, I looked it up and checked out the instructions and diagrams of several websites. Every one of them said to place your hands on the upper part of the chest and every image showed their hands between the nipples.

I heard the saying: if you didn’t break a rib you didn’t do CPR right. So I’m pretty sure it’s not beneath the sternum

Wouldn’t that be the hemlich?

You need to compress the chest, so pressure needs to go on the sternum. If you’re pressing below it, the only thing you’re compressing is their intestines, which is not gonna help anyone

Okay but we’ve already established that it’s not about what you ARE doing, but what people think you’re doing.

Perception.

Wouldn’t that break the xyphoid process? Below that is where you Heimlich. Above, on the strong center bone, is where you do chest compression. Also, as a haver of boobs, I can vouch that they will have enough space between them when she’s flat on her back and braless that you can put your locked fists between them on that bone and shove the heel of your hand towards the floor.
