That's a given, to ask otherwise would be very bad manners.

Yeah, Joseph Wambaugh talked about it in one of his books (Choirboys, or Onion Fields?) back in the '70s. The heart is nothing but a pump and if you keep the pump working until the liquid runs dry, it's often fatal. "Those officers worked so hard trying to save his life, but there was nothing they could do!"
I read about that in a short story once, way back in the 80's. The Paramedics arrived and one said the perp was so dry they'd have to go to the spleen to get blood to type him.

I wonder if what Yogi suggested would "work" on someone not wounded.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

It can if you interrupt the heart's normal rhythm by manually pumping out of sequence, especially if you do it long enough out of sequence.

This.
It's so easy, a lot of novice nurses and EMTs do it by accident

um.... guys?
Look, you don't need to do anything that elaborate. Studies have shown that proper compressions done at a rate of greater than 120 /minute have a very high mortality asosicated with them. the theory is not that you help the guy bleed out, but you collapse the heart so rapidly, it does not have time to refill with blood, and stops effectively moving blood. They don't bleed out, their heart function is stopped because it is going too fast. I have seen a lot of well intention and new nurses and paramedics do this at codes by accident. They get the adrenaline rush, jump onto the patient's chest and start hammering away with compressions thinking that faster and harder is better. Not necessarily.
