The purpose of CPR isn't necessarily to resuscitate (it actually has a pretty poor success rate in that respect) but to maintain circulation until medical help arrives and a resuscitation (typically defibrillation) can be attempted. I was taught that you keep going until the EMT's show up and take over.
Tonight on 24 Agent Freckles applied CPR to a car accident victime for all of about thirty seconds before shaking her head and giving up. An ambulance was even en route.
I know it's a silly thing to grouse about but it pissed me off.
2. Since the whole point to that character was that she die, the CPR was only token
As soon as they introduced the bad guy's girl friend, I knew she was a goner. I just hope they use the sister for more than a guilt trip.
For those who hate "24" I end up watching it because I forget that "The Closer" is on Monday nights at the same time. And there is so much to criticize with the plots.
