Sudden Death and the Myth of CPR

Exploring the stark contrast between the myth and reality of CPR, this book delves into the low survival rates of out-of-hospital resuscitation, estimated at just 1 to 3 percent. The author shares firsthand experiences from emergency settings, revealing the often futile nature of these efforts and the emotional responses of medical personnel. By addressing ethical dilemmas surrounding life and death interventions, the book prompts readers to reconsider societal perceptions of sudden death and advocates for policy reforms to honor the dignity of those who pass away.
