Why is this troubling you?
So just a thought do YOU really think a Volunteer gets a 3am call, then turns on lights pulls out a sheet and says “Not on the I paid List” and goes back to bed?

Real concern do you think a 75yo volunteer even properly trained delivers correct comprehension and rhythm for possibly up to 10 minutes until help arrives.

One can’t count on the spouse standing there because most likely they’re either in shock or not of helping.

I would love to see yearly CPR classes with high tech Annie, that announces your compression is not correct, and you need to correct your rhythm.

Twice a year it was a pain ReCert class for us. Since weekly we performed on humans, but always brought in perspective how even trained staff that can do CPR and fire up AED units and still need tweaking.

Major reason why I retired because I fractured my humerus head. First day I was to return to work I requested, Annie, I performed CPR and four set not accomplishing but coming close. I returned second day performing four sets on Annie. I was very close, but in my mind if it was less than perfect would always wonder alone in that dark hall could I save that person.
Management reminded me I was always with multiple people in OR I was good. I chose not to return. So you will not see me as a volunteer on programs here.
