How many people actually take first aid courses?
It doesn't need to be very long to learn how to do CPR, but it's just so important. CPR might be the difference between life and death, but it can also be the difference between normal (or semi-normal) life and life as a vegetable.
Because CPR, in most cases, won't restart the heart, but will help it to pump blood and irrigate the brain.
After three minutes of no flow, there is brain damage.
Think about waiting twenty minutes for the ambulance to come.
