people round numbers. In a casual setting 8 minutes and 10 minutes are the same.
10 minutes without detectable vital signs is survivable, albeit extremely serious.
If you have sudden cardiac arrest and get CPR from a random bystander you have a 20% chance of surviving to leave the hospital. The sooner a defibrillator can restart the heart the better.
I’m not sure why you say they should have still had vitals with a heart attack. Most heart attacks don’t leave you with none, but it’s not all by any means. Lack of blood flow to the heart can easily cause it to stop beating.
Ultimately though, the part that matters is that the part you found implausible was the medical details, not that someone would go back to work shortly after a severe emergency while still concerned about their own sudden death because they can’t afford to recover.
Random bystanders are way too concerned about breaking ribs.
If you see me on the ground with no heartbeat, break my fucking ribs when you do that shit. If you don’t hear them snap, you aren’t trying hard enough.
Fun fact: people are often hesitant or uncomfortable to do effective AED and CPR on peeps with breasts because they either weren’t taught about it or are too embarrassed. Get out my tits if I’m buying the farm. I’d rather my girls get exposed than fucking die.
For the curious:
It’s ok if you end up touching breast tissue when performing CPR. It happens, especially for those with large breasts.
When using an AED you need to expose the chest and remove/cut off the bra to get the pads placed correctly, to avoid arcing with an underwire, and to get gel on the skin under the pads.
No vitals for 10 minutes doesn’t make sense
Anyone without vitals for 10 minutes would he dead
They should have still had vitals with a heart attack
That’s not the case.
