Joyce: Lie down on the floor.
Steve: Why?
Joyce: I have to practice for my CPR
exam tomorrow. I’m taking it so I can get my
CPR certification. Lie down please.
Steve: Okay, okay. Now what do I do?
Joyce: You just lie there and pretend to be
unresponsive, like you’re in
cardiac arrest. Okay, I need to
determine your heart rate and if
you’re breathing or not. Then, I
check to see that your airway isn’t
blocked.
Steve: Hey, get your fingers out of my mouth!
Joyce: Lie still! You’re lucky I don’t
have to administer artificial
respiration.
Steve: Thank God for small favors!
Joyce: But I do need to practice
restoring your circulation
by doing chest compressions.
Steve: Ouch, that hurts!
Joyce: You’re supposed to be unresponsive,
remember? Hold still while I get the
defibrillator.
Steve: Oh, no, you don’t! From now on, as
far as you’re concerned, I’m a case of
do not resuscitate!
