“I heard it in every CPR/first aid class I’ve taken”
to clarify It IS true. It is taught to provide a sense of comfort, IE Don’t panic if your choking patient is coughing/talking they are still breathing , you can process the situation, call for help if in over your head etc. . but it isnt meant to teach that they arent in danger.
applying it to a case where a person’s throat is being constricted and he says “I cant breathe” as being “proof” that he is breathing is not what the first aid teachers meant ,
And again , this isnt geared to you, wev’e exhausted that point, I’m not saying thats what you meant.
