Reply To: Nurse Refused To Initiate CPR, What Is Your Opinion?

The big question is, why did she act like this on the phone.

She acknowledged that the patient needs CPR. Yet she refused to hand over the phone to anyone that would be willing to do CPR.

As someone that responds to such places frequently, I can assure you that there a many such ‘caring’ nurses.

Following company policy is as Popa pointed out the excuse nazis used.

And btw, there are quiet a few 80 year olds that I performed CPR on and walk each day to shull on their own.
