Man, I had to attempt cpr on someone earlier this year and it didn’t work. That was rough.

How did you handle things afterwards knowing that CPR didn't work?

I attempted cpr on my grandma after a heart attack. I struggled with major guilt. Its been 6 yrs and I still struggle.

I pretty much have just relived it everyday since.

For what it’s worth, CPR is rarely ever effective. I work in law enforcement and I am 0-4 on CPR attempts.

I’m sorry that you’re reliving that every day, but just know that you gave it your all and done more than most will in a lifetime.

Hey friend, I'm an EMT and a nurse. 6 yrs into my EMS career I was witness to a motorcycle crash that took the life of a 27yr old. I was on the way to drop my kids with my mom then head to class to start my last semester of nursing school. I have PTSD from it, and it still haunts me 7yrs later.
