Glauc Talk: Why Everyone Should Know CPR (Seriously)
This week, Kristin and I dive into two real-world CPR stories. One that’ll make your blood boil (looking at you, Hofstra bar exam), and another that’ll make you want to hug a comedian in Spokane. We talk about what happens when bystanders freeze, how quick thinking saves lives, and why everyone should know at least something about CPR.
Then I drag Kristin into a round of “Doctor Strange or Just Strange” where she has to guess if bizarre medical facts are from Marvel or real life.
And finally, we end up knee-deep in hemoglobin. From carbon monoxide poisoning to hyperbaric chambers to… Kristen’s existential crisis about why it’s called alpha and beta, this one’s got everything.
Takeaways:
The Bar Exam Horror Story: When doing CPR isn’t optional… and the crowd gets it wrong.
Stand-Up Saves Lives : The Spokane comedy show that turned into a medical emergency and a miracle.
Co-Survivorship Matters: Why everyone affected by a cardiac arrest deserves support, not just the patient.
Doctor Strange or Just Strange? : From leeches to living chickens, the medical world is somehow stranger than Marvel.
Hemoglobin Deep Dive : Oxygen, carbon monoxide, and one very long tangent about evolution, naming conventions, and why Kristen can’t stop asking “but why?”
