My post wasn’t asking you to record every criticism about you, nor is it suggesting you need to be obsessive or compulsive or narcissistic, or whatever histrionics you want to frill it with… I’m just pointing out that Gravedigger unpicked your “saving countless lives” with his statistical nuance.
And it WASN'T "my" "saving countless lives".
That was all you. I never said that.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics
Mark Twain popularized the saying in Chapters from My Autobiography, published in the North American Review in 1907. "Figures often beguile me," Twain wrote, "particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'"

The survival rate of 'bystander' CPR (as opposed to people who are already in hospital) is about 10%. So if you have saved 5 people you will have performed approx. 50 CPR attempts.

@the-gravedigger saidSometimes statistics are wrong but I'm confident that this bump will produce an influx of posts so we can get up to 3000 and celebrate Suzi leaving the site in style.
