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 fucking hate the baby dummies. Luckily I don’t have to use them when teaching, as I’ve never taught a course for people with a special responsibility for children. But I still shutter when I encounter one in the dummy depot.

      Adults? Sure, we’re all going to die some day. Kids and toddlers? Nope, no thank you, no way.
