Oh. My. God.

Glory hounding. Trying to do the right thing for the sake of appearances whether it kills anyone or not

why did she not tell this imbecile from the start that she was an EMT ?

I'm calling bs on this one. Surely, the first thing should would have said is, "I'm a trained paramedic".

(The guy being an arrogant d*ck trying repeatedly to do unnecessary CPR aside) I wonder why the young woman didn't introduce herself as an EMT or first aider?

This man is a public safety hazard

I like the cow story better. Seemed more believable...barely.

Wow. Mansplaining at its worst.

At my youngest son's middle school graduation, a man fainted, and then a lady ran over and started doing CHEST COMPRESSIONS! No checking for breathing or pulse, just went into chest compressions until an officer in attendance stopped her. People who think medical dramas are real-life... they're a hoot.

These sound fake so far but okay

Since this one is obviously fake, I will stop here. I hate reading stuff like this, then realizing it's all fake.

Sounds fake.

Mansplainers gonna mansplain, even if it kills someone. Thank goodness for that woman, the teen girl was there and was able to fight off the guy.

Because.. “how could someone younger AND a female possibly know more than me, the Man, here to be heroic, and not wanting my thunder stolen. Because I am the important one “.

Actually saw a similar scenario at a fun fair. A man in fact did have a cardiac event and required CPR. This woman shoved everyone aside, including me, (a registered nurse) to get to the victim and said loudly OMG! HE NEEDS CPR - LUCKY I KNOW HOW, and proceeded to do an ok job. I offered help, which was loudly refused . I was about to go to the visitor centre to summon an ambulance, when a lady walked up an offered help, which the glory hound refused. So lady said, " Well, when you are ready to call a doctor, HERE I AM!" The victim survived.

throw him in jail. What a total idiot

what I learned was, you can be an EMT as a teen. I was probably playing video games at that age

Why didn't she just say to the man from the start, "I'm a paramedic, leave this to me".

Oh gosh, just be glad he didn't do worse farther and don't have child on his own.

And everyone stood up and clapped....

Typical man - thinks he knows everything.

Great work! But doesnt she need to also find out if she has meds in her and what she ate last? How I was trained...not as extensively as her.

Best story ever! (For the girl, I hope the woman was fine.)

Don't call her a teenager when it's obvious she is a working professional young woman. Teen had me thinking she was in high school. No, this young lady is graduated with EMT training. Call her what she is. A young woman.

Reminds me of "Dumb and Dumber" scene when one of them "does CPR".

NICE!!!

Heck yeah, sister.

Arrested for what? All he was doing was "mansplaining"!

I was done at "little girl".

oh my gosh... well at least things turned out well

The girl is a genius. The man–I'm glad he was banned from the premises.

The epitome of a mansplainer.

Really? If she knows what she is doing and seems familiar with it let her do it. I mean the man just got a big fat OOF. Seriously do not judge some or you will end up like Mr. Smarty Pants and look like a fool.

This idiot could have killed that woman!

If someone is moving around, even if it's a seizure, then they are breathing and their blood is circulating. Absolutely no requirement for CPR. What an idiot.

when someone think he knows it all!

Even if she did tell the man she was an EMT he probably would not have believed her.

Please let me mansplain this to you...

The man was not only banned, but arrested? I’m no law enforcement officer but if this had actually happened I don’t think the man would have been arrested; he was doing what he thought was right.

OH MY GOD! This is why to never judge a book by it's cover!
