3. CPR saves about 2 or 3 percent of all victims...

another 2 or 3 percent suffer broken bones, brain damage or other nasty injuries — most end up crippled. The rest die.

It's horribly inefficient, and if there's a DNR, they'd get their asses sued off for ignoring it. Oh, Good Samaritan laws don't normally apply to medical professionals in the course of their duties.

The family approved, the DNR approved (probably by the patient... that's how it usually goes), the administrator approved. Call me mean, nasty names, but it sounds like the only one with a problem is you.
