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
 
She was going so fast because it was close to End of Shift and she wanted to not have OT. I Commend her for that, after all, as a taxpayer, I appreciate fiscal responsibility.
