Sparky,
I personally agree with what you are saying.
But, as an Emergency Worker, I am required to continue CPR and the ABC system, until such time as a Doctor(Medical Practicioner)is there to pronounce the victim as deceased.
I do not like, also the idea of de-frib units being used willy-nilly, there was talk over here of having them installed in supermarkets, as this is where a lot of our MCI's happen.
It's a stupid idea, kids will play with them
