Despite a 911 dispatcher's plea for help, an employee refused to perform CPR, leading to national outrage and a subsequent police inquiry. However, the woman had previously expressed her wish for a natural passing without life-prolonging interventions. This event stirred controversy due to misunderstandings about CPR's efficacy. While portrayed as a life-saving measure, the reality is grimmer, with survival rates standing at only around 7.6% for out-of-hospital cases and various physical and psychological complications associated with the procedure.
