Bystanders are less likely to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to women than men, particularly if the emergency takes place in a public area, according to research presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress. The study also shows that in private locations older people, especially older men, are less likely to receive CPR.

The researchers don’t know what is causing this but it really troubles me.

    Pretty sure the article is satire. Here’s something similar from Snopes. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cassidy-boon-drowning/

    From the original article: "I could have died peacefully, but now I am living a nightmare; I was sexually assaulted in broad daylight by the only person who was sober at the party; what are the chances?.”

      The names a different in the articles and they are from different years. The “original” article seems to be from “GlobalNea” (which is now defunct? This is supposedly a picture of “Kim Wright” but there’s only a single picture of her online.

      It’s not clear if it’s a true story or not. If it happened in the US, there should be court documents, no?
