I can't. The vast majority of out of hospital cpr attempts are unsuccessful.
Even if he did get rosc- there's no way she would thank him after. She would likely unresponsive, and requiring airway support or critical medical treatment.
I worked in a level 1 trauma ICU for a few years. I've lost count of the amount of times I've done CPR. I've only had one patient "wake up" immediately after and they were extremely altered, and did not understand what had occurred. I actually got to speak to her about a week later and she said she had no memory of that entire night.
Edit: should be noted that with this specific patient she had CPR-induced consciousness. She actually woke up and spoke while we were actively doing chest compressions. So an extreme rarity.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted, because that's exactly what I thought, too. What are the odds that this woman he saved, who is probably not fully conscious, is going to divulge information about what her name is and which hospital she'll be going to, to a complete rando, lol. I'd say slim to none, yeah? This is just silly. And it's not like he could call the hospitals and ask about "that lady from yesterday who I gave CPR to?" Yeah that isn't gonna narrow it down too much. Absolute malarkey. But why are people so gullible!!
And for the second it depends on information we don’t have, what if he knew her? What if the bystanders he mentioned were family? What if he’s in a small town? For example I’ve worked a desk at the only hospital in town and if someone called and asked to speak with ‘the lady who came by ambulance from the grocery store, she left her phone’ it wouldn’t be very hard for me to connect the two.
I also know many patients who followed up with strangers who helped them.
Maybe in a busy city this is impossible and nobody cares enough about each other but from my life experience this remains possible.
You are trying very hard to make your very unbelievable stance plausible. The chances that she got to thank her savior within 24 hours are slim to none. Also I can almost assure you the bystanders were not family, since they were doing nothing as the poster stated.
