I just watched the tail end of a show in which someone's heart was restarted by the administration of CPR.
HILARIOUS.
Not only was the CPR very improperly performed, but unless you have some super special electroshock fingers, you cannot restore electrical activity to the heart with CPR. It doesn't magically generate electricity, lol, that's what defibrillators are for. The purpose of CPR is to mimic the pumping action of the heart to keep blood circulating around the body, allowing gas exchange in the lungs and delivery of oxygen etc. to the cells.
They need a medical consultant on that show. Stat.
