A friend of mine was an EMT and was almost sued by a woman he resuscitated. He said almost everyone, but especially women, get cracked, bruised or outright broken ribs, because there really is no "gentle" way to jostle the heart behind a cage. If someone survives CPR, they will hurt. Period. Anyway, it didn't make it to court because every witness of her painful healing period also remarked that she continually spoke of how lucky she was to be alive. Without CPR she wouldn't have such a story to tell.
