2012年ESL之就医和人际交往 04 Giving CPR（在线收听）

Giving CPR 

Joyce: Lie down on the floor. 

Steve: Why? 

Joyce: I have to practice for my CPR exam tomorrow. I’m taking it so I can get my CPR certification. Lie down please. 

Steve: Okay, okay. Now what do I do? 

Joyce: You just lie there and pretend to be unresponsive, like you’re in cardiac arrest. Okay, I need to determine your heart rate and if you’re breathing or not. Then, I check to see that your airway isn’t blocked. 

Steve: Hey, get your fingers out of my mouth! 

Joyce: Lie still! You’re lucky I don’t have to administer artificial respiration. 

Steve: Thank God for small favors! 

Joyce: But I do need to practice restoring your circulation by doing chest compressions. 

Steve: Ouch, that hurts! 

Joyce: You’re supposed to be unresponsive, remember? Hold still while I get the defibrillator. 

Steve: Oh, no, you don’t! From now on, as far as you’re concerned, I’m a case of do not resuscitate!
