      **Odenkirk:**

      > “I went down and Rhea [Seehorn] and Patrick [Fabian] grabbed me and they were screaming, but [the crew members who noticed] thought they were laughing. So there were delays in reacting because we were all so far apart from each other. I was gone. I turned grey. Eventually the on-set medic showed up and he didn’t know what to do. He’d never done CPR.”

      > “A lot of people get that wonderful reel of film of their life, or they have a person who says, ‘Do you want to go back?’ None of that for me. The first memory I have is leaving the hospital a week after I got there.”

      Great show! Is BCS completely over? It did have an ambiguous twisty sudden packed eventful ending. I wanted more.

      Met him at Second City once. He was a rude, condescending, aloof ass hole. He ordered a scotch and sprite—fucking psychopath. He left no tip because I confirmed his order to make sure I heard it right. Absolute garbage human being in my limited experience.

      That will prob haunt Rhea and Patrick who were with him the rest of their lives 😔 so glad he made it!

      A bunch of these comments mention Bob’s quote saying that the medic didn’t know CPR.

      CPR helps with cardiac arrest–when the heart has stopped beating and the patient is usually unconscious. It doesn’t help with heart attacks–when there is usually a blockage and the heart is still trying to pump blood. Assuming it’s true that the medic actually didn’t know CPR (which we don’t have confirmation on), then administering CPR on a patient suffering a heart attack wouldn’t help. It would probably do damage.

      It’s more likely that Bob started having the heart attack, asked the medic if he was going to give CPR, and the medic said something like: “I can’t do that.” (Because it’s a heart attack, not cardiac arrest.)

      That’s not an actual paramedic then. If you’re a nationally registered EMT or above, you 100% know and have done CPR.
