Join us as we expose a chilling reality that's costing lives: the gender gap in CPR delivery. Brace yourself for a hard-hitting conversation that shatters the silence on why women are less likely to receive bystander CPR during cardiac emergencies. We're digging deep into the statistics that paint a dire picture for women's heart health, and the societal barriers that have created a grim survival rate for women suffering from heart attacks. Our dialogue goes beyond the numbers, confronting the fears and biases that may deter people from stepping in to help a woman in need.

In a twist that combines ingenuity with a dash of humor, we explore groundbreaking approaches to CPR training tailored for women. From the quirky yet crucial step of utilizing drag queen chest plates on mannequins to our collaboration with a mechanical engineer aimed at crafting anatomically correct CPR training tools, we're on the frontlines of a much-needed revolution in life-saving education. We're not just talking about change; we're actively forging paths to ensure that when it comes to saving a life, gender doesn't dictate the odds of survival. Join us on this journey of innovation, inclusivity, and the imperative to equip every person with the knowledge to act in an emergency, regardless of who is in need.
