    Oof, I knew they found him unresponsive. I did not know they had to do CPR. I would be surprised if he was still alive, and there’s virtually no chance he will recover. CPR done outside a hospital setting on patients 80 or above only has like a 2-10% chance of ever being discharged, lower if they have pre-existing conditions.

    I wouldn’t want to do the compressions for that. I bet it felt like breaking a glass xylophone in an old burlap sack.
