If you do CPR, we have a shot.
Yeah, and that's been a big push for our system.
We've been teaching CPRT, so it's CPR telecommunicator, and we've been pushing that.
So all of our dispatchers get healthcare provider CPR plus this dispatcher CPR training.
So that way, if they're out at McDonald's or Walmart and one of our dispatchers sees someone going to cardiac arrest, they will start chest compressions.
And then if they call in on the phone, they are able to recognize faster through the 911 call
that this patient is possibly in cardiac arrest.
So a couple of tools that the dispatcher has is they can count your respiratory rate.
So like, Hey, tell me when you see the chest rise and they click a button, it's like one, two, three.
And if it says six or less, it sends a red flag up to dispatcher going, Hey, this is a possible cardiac arrest.
Like we think about cardiac arrest.
And then, like you said, there's a whole script they start and they start reading through.
And then they have a counter on their screen.
It's like, all right,
Push, push, push, push.
And so we can get them in that 110 beats a minute just by talking through CPR.
And one of the things that I disagree with on the telecommunicator CPR is it says, hey, thumbs up.
Do you see that on the screen?
I don't know.
I was like, hey, I don't know.
