[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 583131, member: 1514"] I would think anyone working in a facility like that would have to have CPR training. We had to have it just to work at DSS. From what I understand, you cant be sued, especially as a person working in a facility like that, for attempting to give CPR and I would think having the 911 operator on the line would give more legal protection to someone doing the CPR. If you do the CPR and it works and something happens to get broken or hurt on the patient, thats all to the good. If you attempt CPR and the patient still dies, that is sad. If you sit there and do nothing...I dont know how you can defend that. [/QUOTE]
