What was said
"So I start going deeper, and then I feel the ribs crack. No. Oh, no. And they say that's normal. And I flinch, of course, because I just cracked a guy's ribs."
Recounting her first in-hospital cardiac arrest call as a junior resident, Dr Kim Foster says she was told to push deeper during chest compressions and felt the patient’s ribs crack. She says colleagues told her it was normal and to continue, describing a moment of intense self-doubt during the resuscitation.
