Precordial thump. Have done it twice.

First guy was maybe 50. He had many more years left in him.

Second was a code of a nursing home patient. They were too slow with the cart and I was just standing there. Lol. Saw V-tach. Commenced to swinging. Popped her out of V tach and it later turned to crap. She did not make it. Poor thing didn't need to.

Usually about 1 or 2 a day. I will look up from sending a text and swerve back into my lane just in time

One.

My mother, at least twice through CPR.

My little sister revived her as well at least once.

She is with God now, but it wasn't because of my failure or my family's lack of trying.

One.
We were coming back from a play at Tulane and we interrupted an armed robbery on the other side of our street in the French Quarter.
My husband yelled at the woman to come over to us, she paniced and thought he was in with the thug. Then husband rushed in to call the police and I yelled at her and she responded. The perp, showing his gun came after her and I started yelling at the top of my lungs about what he was and how we didn't want him on our street and about burning in hell, etc. And he hesitated. and I got the woman with me behind our gate (with a thin piece of metal on it) and I kept yelling....things that would get me in trouble from some of the words I used. But he still hesitated to follow.
When he saw blue lights at the corner, he took off.

The woman had NO money with her and she felt she would have been shot. The police were shocked because they were on the adjacent street and seen her five minutes earlier.

A loud, angry woman (me) did a good thing that night.

You never know what you'll do when the shite hits the fan.

By the time I got to my mother one time, she was pale, her lips were blue, her eyes had rolled into the back of her head and she had no pulse (from what I could determine).

I thought to myself that she was dead.

I started compressions for her (and mostly for me) because what the hell else was I going to deal until the paramedics showed up?

Might've saved my ex from killing himself by leaving. Does that count?

Getting a little generous with your score keeping there? I've never met a girl who got caught by a car full of rapists and was killed. Usually just raped.

I hate to admit this but I watch in horror as my nephew went too far out in the pool and ended up in water over his head. I freaked out and couldn't even speak or yell. Thank God my cousin were there and jumped in the pool to save him.

Not a proud moment for me.

I didn't make a conscious choice.

It was just reaction.

The paramedics gripped my shoulder away from her one time so that they could take over. I don't remember what they said.

I don't remember the compressions (even though the rhythm I was taught is to the song 'Staying Alive'), I only remember me telling telling her to keep fighting.

Too many to count. Best save was a guy came in the ER in Asystole and he walked out of the hospital 10 days later
