Compress To Impress

(I’m practicing chest compressions on a dummy. When you do them right, the dummy is supposed to make a click.)

Me: *does chest compression*

(No click.)

Instructor: “You have to do them more firmly! Harder!”

(I try, but no click.)

Instructor: “In real life a few broken ribs don’t matter; this is a life you’re trying to save! Now, do it harder. Don’t be afraid!”

(I use all my might, and the dummy’s head flies off.)

Instructor: “Not that hard!”
