Charts are like screwdrivers and hammers; one has to know how to use them.

One thing I would suggest, for example, is NOT to use a long range weekly chart to predict the action for the next day.

Re: CPR 30 min max with out pulse, its all about blood flow. If some one has no pulse after 20/30 min brain/organ damage/death is certain. If someone does CPR wrong it can increase or cause more damage/death, rib in lung or worse, so take some time to get your CPR ticket, may save a life some day. BTW the best feeling you'll ever have, so worth the time and money invested.

Skippy…wife spent 20 years in the medical field and for the last two 2 years has worked as a paramedic, most rewarding work she has ever had. BTW is the most respected job for years in Australia.
PS Her University path was to become a Coroner, go figure.

tooearly,

I do not want to see people read only the headline and come away with "if CPR doesn't work in hospitals, is it worth doing for anything more than a minute or two?
" I don't want that news item to lead to someone drawing the wrong conclusion and worse wrong action if someone has a heart attack.

Sorry, it is NOT a "yes but" when it comes to cpr. What you think hospitals don't have AED devices ?

Yves: Thanks for the link to the NEJM.
Note typo in your comment: "defibrillate" is correct spelling.

Re gold, I visit Jesse's blog a lot and, while impressed by his technical charts, haven't found them predictive. Gold is down big today.
