That ain’t “being really good” - That’s being stupidly lucky. I spent 20 years in the back of the bus, and I never had a revival on scene or in the rig. Nor did I ever meet anyone who ever made such a claim.
Quite often patients that are brought in with CPR in progress are called dead by the ER Doctor after another 20 or 30 minutes of effort or they do get a patient back and keep them going for another few days or a week or so. Only for the patient to finally die in hospital.
But, every so often someone surprises the hell out of us and actually survives and goes on to live for years. This is why we try as hard and as best we can to keep you alive. Because there is always a chance.
I’m just echoing the somewhat traumatising experience of a friend that works in a hospital. I’m gonna assume it’s highly dependent on the nature of the injury requiring resus, both probability of survival and chance of waking up during CPR
