I’ll let the doctors among us weigh in on this, but it seems ridiculous beyond belief to say that once you’ve decided a patient is dead, it’s a good idea to gently massage his abdomen with the tips of your fingers — and call it CPR.

Thank you Charles.
As someone that has done CPR, in ambulances, at the scene, and in an ER, you NEVER repeat NEVER, quit CPR, until instructed by the lead physican. The gentle massage, seen in the video, is just that, window dressing for the camera. PURE AND SIMPLE. When told, by a doctor, that “it’s over”, it’s over. Dramatics are over the top, and disgusting.
