    My wife and I have both taken CPR classes together. She has very strict wishes about when I should render aid to her. Basically there has to be a 90% chance of an almost instant full recovery before I’m allowed to help her at all if something goes wrong. She knows the risks and so do I. I’m supposed to give her up so I don’t let her down.

      Hands down the best comment I have ever read. The subject. The setup. The payoff. The layers. Genius.

      We are not worthy. It’s downhill from here. Just… perfect!

      Are you able to make the determination, or just haven’t taken a CPR class?

      I ask because that’s a lot of pressure put on you, to try to make that kind of emergency diagnosis, especially if you’re not in the medical profession.
