I appreciate that reminder. And for clearly pointing that out to future readers of this post.
For context, this was before the standards changed. I'm glad the standards reduced the amount of breathing (to make room for more heart pumping). Either way, it wouldn't have made a difference in my situation: the patient had a brain aneurysm with a "<1% chance of survival even it it happened in the ER"
----------------
Also, for future readers:
The probability that an amateur using CPR saves someone's life is 1:10,000
For paramedics, it is 1:1,000
So if your person dies, go easy on yourself and get some therapy
