BTDT! Apparently I didn't get the airway just right and filled the victims stomach with air, rather than his lungs, so the stomach contents came out, and he had been drinking milk earlier. I will never eat cottage cheese again, for that reason...and I didn't get a save, either. When the ambulance guys got there, they said they weren't totally sure who the patient was, the guy on the floor, or me! I had done CPR alone for about 20 to 30 minutes with body armor on, and was pretty well spent. I was OK after a few minutes rest and a can of CocaCola, just soaking wet from sweat for the rest of the shift.
But you have to try. If you don't do anything, the person needing CPR will die. If you are the victim's only chance of living, you better do the best job you can.
I did get a save one time, although the little old lady had a bad stroke and died in the hospital the next day. I did my part to try to save her, and still feel good about it. She might have ended up OK.
Long retired, would I try again if the need to do so came up? You better believe it! And would I worry about the gross aspects of CPR afterwards? Probably, but I would try. A mask might be a good idea, but I really don't know anyone who actually carries one all the time. When the need arises, you use what you have with you.
But I will never have anything to do with cottage cheese again...YUCK!!!

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
