thereadersroom.org Hi L2 Readers! (Boom! How ‘bout dah?) Hope you’re having a good year so far. Today, we have a guest on our blog, Yaaay! This is going to become a thing by the way, so let me know what you think. Back in the day, I worked as a Microbiologist in one of the leading pathology laboratories in Nigeria, and during my early intern days before I became full-time, I worked with a very intelligent and goal-driven lady by the name Chidimma Kayla Ezenduka-Ezike.

It usually consists of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compressions to the beat of 'Staying Alive' (you can find that in the video below). When someone goes into cardiac arrest, which is an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes irregular heartbeat and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain and other important organs, CPR is usu...
