- karagenit 3y agoI don’t think that’s right. Sometimes the cartilage will break which can sound similar, but broken ribs is a serious condition that can lead to internal bleeding and such. > Broken ribs are present in 3% of those who survive to hospital discharge, and 15% of those who die in the hospital https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitatio...
