Used and used correctly are entirely different things

How current are the people in the school on CPR? I lifeguarded for years. If you don’t practice you forget and many people just go through the motions when learning.

It was used correctly. Confirmed by the doctor at the hospital. First responders did all they could. Don’t be so quick to blame someone for not helping enough, when they were trying to save a life and nothing could be done.

I didn’t blame anyone for “not helping enough”. I’m just point out that it can be done… but done improperly. Weird reply

I mean I didn’t but I’m sure your self-righteousness makes you feel good

I should also add that nothing in the enws reporting says anything about the doctors "confirming" the heimlich was done correctly all that has been reported is that the resource officer rendered aid - where did you get this information?

Can you at least let the class know where you're getting the information that the doctor confirmed the heimlich was done correctly? I'm genuinely curious.

I wonder how a clinician would be able to tell if it was done correctly or not after the fact...
