Things that would make a medic have a stroke

fist thing? good job officer... are they great compressions? probably not.. it's hands only CPR, and likely ineffective... but better than nothing, esp since her primary role isn't as a medical provider... should she retake CPR class? sure... but I won't fault someone who does something, vs standing around waiting for EMS to arrive, repeatedly asking for an update on EMS.

Not for nothinging, but If I was a solo responder, doing compressions in the middle of the street with traffic whizzing by, my compressions would likely suck also. I would have tried to drag the guy onto the sidewalk first, but at least she's doing something.

 
I agree, I'd be happy she was doing anything

I'd certainly try to get her a CPR class, as it's obvious she is willing to help, THAT we can work with
