Bystander CPR - Real Experiences | Action First Aid

A compilation of real, first-hand accounts about what it is like to perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). We brought together a group of people with one thing in common; they have each given CPR at least once.
Stories told by Instructors, Paramedics, Firefighters and First Aiders about their experiences giving CPR. These are personal anecdotes ranging from a restaurant rescue to the sensory impressions of cracking cartilage. In these interviews, they get candid about how unpleasant it can be (the sounds), what it feels like (squishy) and how hard you actually have to push.
We feel it is important that you hear the truth about the experience so that you are mentally prepared to step in and perform CPR when it is needed most.

Oh lord, I never thought about the bones moving while doing compressions

This should be mandatory training in schools. Not only for teachers, but also for students at least at senior level.
