Think CPR is Bad in CAMBODIA? Check Out Vietnam's Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Methods...

Post by General Mackevili »

I was a good boy and stayed in this evening, and it's 430am so I have no bloody excuse for still being up.

I'm on the worst sleep cycle I could possibly get on. But I digress, bitches.

We all saw that video posted on CEO a few weeks ago of the Cambodians trying to save some dude who drowned at the beach. And that was pretty terrifying.

They had the guy up over people's shoulders, swinging him around, upside down most the time.

Well, I think this one I just saw in Vietnam takes the cake. I'll warn you, it's a bit brutal. Not bloody or anything, but seeing these Vietnamese CPR techniques in action might make you hurt.

Maybe he's fine right now and sending flowers to everyone on the beach that helped him that day, but who knows...

Jesus... I love how she repeatedly dismisses others with her hand and a quick glance throughout the video, in a weird sort of "I got this/I done this before" gesture. I wonder what she's saying.

Is there any way of ascertaining whether the recipient of all this very vigorous attention survived?

Are we to assume that this short video will "go viral" and be seen as illustrating slope ignorance and
crude stupidity; it would be distressing to many if that were to happen.

Long story, but while doing CPR to a friend in Thailand years ago (overdose of things he should have stayed away from), I gave him a sternal fracture. I got bitched at for a long time, but I pointed out he was alive, shouldn't be doing things that can kill him and a simple thank you would be enough.

Probably not much difference between having a 40 kg Vietnamese jumping on your chest, to a 80 plus kg westerner pushing on your chest.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

asians have generally weaker upper body strength so the logical thing to do is to use ur biggest muscle group :D
