People who say they would refuse to do CPR on a woman are plagues to society
16 year old girl here. I just recently saw a video on youtube talking about how ridiculous and saddening it was that \*some\* people openly admit they wouldn't do CPR on a woman to 'avoid being sued'.
And to my shock (not really, though, I don't expect much anymore) there were HUNDREDS of people arguing against the videos point.
And it's seriously terrifying to know that there is a possibility one day I could go into cardiac arrest and die just because I have breasts. I commented that I would much rather be immodest and alive than modest and dead, and some women DISAGREED WITH ME!!
What type of society do we live in to where we have convinced women to be SO ashamed of their bodies they would rather die and be modest than receive life saving care??
Why would some people rather sit back and watch someone die when they could've intervened and done something, just because there is a \*minuscule\* chance the woman could (and with the US's laws, not even) sue them?
Edit: I completely understand that CPR is hard, and that a lot of people would be going in blind if they had to do it on someone. My point is I don't think it's at all excusable to let someone die and to stand by and not do anything because they're afraid to administer help.
THIS IS NOT A GENDER WARS POST. I am not going to be responding any further to anyone accusing me of that, because I have made it clear this post is not focused in gender. This is about PEOPLE, regardless of their gender, not giving CPR to women because of their bodies.
