Man Saves Woman’s Life With CPR He Learned From An Episode Of ‘The Office’

Michael Scott practices CPR on a dummy in a 2009 episode of “The Office.” Screenshot via video by Netflix US/Twitter It seems that serial sitcom blunderer Michael Scott finally did something right. “I had no idea what I was doing.” That’s when something popped into his head — an episode of “The Office” in which Steve Carell’s character does chest compressions on a practice dummy to the beat of the Bee Gees song “Stayin’ Alive” during an in-office CPR training. With this in mind, and the driver’s seat lowered, Cross Scott leaned over the woman, got his hands in position and began singing the song out loud: “Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.” Maybe a minute later, the woman was breathing. Interestingly enough, “Stayin’ Alive” isn’t the only memorable song that can help people set the beat for emergency chest compressions.
