If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?

  • I would argue that ‘any condition’ isn’t really better. If they return as a vegetable, wouldn’t their loved ones ultimately rather remember them as they were before, instead of wiping their shit for a miserable decade?
