Obviously everyone is different, but I have never thought of CPR as "brutal" for the provider. Exhausting, certainly, but not brutal.

  For the provider, this was primarily a reference to the potential emotional rollercoaster of CPR (depending on how empathetic you are).

    That really hasn't been my experience. There certainly can be hard emotions surrounding the event (telling someone their loved one has died, etc), but CPR itself is pretty straightforward.

      Definitely, I agree that the physical act of CPR is straightforward.
