"Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they're choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns."
"I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the "real" data?"
I've seen too many should-be-dead bodies dragged through years of medical torture after a crippling incident to be able to agree with that sentiment. There are worse things than death.
You don't attempt CPR until you confirm that the person doesn't have a pulse. The angle up on the edge of the pool and the way the kid was doing compressions were not doing anything. Trust me, I've seen and done effective chest compressions and that shit is HARD. A 12yo tapping on someone's chest might be well-meaning, but it's not CPR
"The truth is you love censorship, and so does everyone else. The only question is whether you’re ready to admit it."

God bless this kid, he deserves all the credit for pulling that guy out of the pool. That's probably what saved the guy's life.
However...
"Patients in previous studies have cited television as a large source of their belief that rates of survival after CPR vary between 19% and 75%, whereas actual rates of survival of CPR range from an average of 12% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests to 24–40% for in-hospital arrests."

YEP. Same. It's always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who's never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south
For the record, my grandmother with actual Alzheimer's continued to ace the MoCA tests long after we had taken her keys and checkbook away. Not all mental deficits are revealed by those tests.
This 100% was the entire goal of the Citizens United ruling.
So this is a nonfiction work about the author's actual experiences as a teenager? Yeah we really need to stop pretending teenagers are innocent little flowers who never encounter stuff like this (that they often don't understand and have no one to talk to about)
These women have valid fears of risking their careers by speaking up, but go off I guess
This is why antimaskers are extra fucking dumb. We were always fairly certain all the cardiac effects we've seen in people right after a Covid infection were because of the virus, but they chose to go out there and throw themselves in front of the train anyway.
