Source on the CPR example? I thought this was the point of Good Samaritan Laws, where a person administering CPR is protected from legal proceedings from cpr injuries (I.e broken rib)

Please ignore my ignorance, you’re correct that you’re pretty well protected unless you do something with gross negligence or intent to cause injury. I guess just make sure you know what you’re doing, because if you stab a major artery and they bleed out, or you just randomly pound on the person’s chest, that might be considered gross negligence, but I’m not a lawyer obviously
