It probably depends on when you did it last time. For me its that breathing mouth-to-mouth is no longer recommended for untrained people and that there are two different stable positions, which depend on whether the person is conscious or not.

A number of years ago, they stopped recommending and teaching tourniquets because they were concerned about people losing limbs unnecessarily if tourniquets were to be applied unnecessarily.

However, then the Boston Marathon bombing occurred and the California nightclub shooting and they realized that they had made a tragic mistake because a lot of people lost their lives when they could have been saved.

So now, tourniquets are once again recommended and taught.

this. not the i doubt that staying refreshed is a bad thing but i’d love to be surprised at what is new.

Took me a while to figure out you meant to be commenting on the bidet post!

Is there a no context sub yet?

Yes, CPR is brutal and more often than not ineffective. That TV trope where someone gets a few compressions suddenly coughs and sits up all alive and healthy again is complete BS. Literally never happens.

My wife’s a paramedic and in seven years has only seen someone spontaneously regain pulse after CPR twice - and that’s with a team of highly trained professionals and a whole bunch of fancy equipment.

Still worth trying in many cases though, but it’s certainly not a miracle procedure and not something that should automatically be done in every case.

Added it! thank you
