Worst CPR I've ever seen,

 

Watch the video from 8 secs onwards. Clearly the diaphragm/abdomen is expanding/contracting indicating the cpr action is correct.

You are talking to an Ex Firefighter and also worked and trained on Ambulance work....is that OK for you....

 

Were you a firefighter/paramedic?  It seems highly unlikely from your critique and inattention to detail. From 1994-2009, I was a Medic with a county hospital-based ACLS ambulance service. Of the fireman that responded to our medical calls, some were gofers sent to get equipment and supplies from the ambulance. Others were only good for opening the ambulance loading doors and helping to load the stretcher. They probably considered this as working and training on "ambulance work" too.

Wow.  Great job. 

 

Although my dirty old man is going to say with something like that straddleing me I would have come back for sure!

When the day comes I'd love to end my journey with a nice young lady straddling me that way. It would make for a sweet transition. On a more serious note, I praise her prompt initiative and courage.

Exactly.  On both points.  It was just a tawdry attempt to get extra clicks.  And bravo to the young lady. 

Actually the original Thai says nothing about riding the pony, more like she 'jumps up on the stretcher to pump his heart.' So I guess it was the English-language press who wanted the clicks...

Truly a very crude and sexist insinuation from the “ journalist “ writing this. If instead it had been a young man doing this commendable deed this wouldn’t even have been worth the ink. Shameful.
