James Jude, MD Co-inventor of CPR, Dies At 87

New submitter voxelman writes: Jim Jude, my uncle, was a kind and modest man. The impact of his insight into the significance of a change in blood pressure from the application of defibrillation paddles to a dog's chest has led to the saving of millions of lives through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). His passing is a release from a debilitating illness that made a mockery of his contributions to medical science. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Yes, because bloodletting and anal fumigation by tobacco smoke used in that "CPR" of the 1700s are exactly the same as modern CPR.

James Jude is acknowledged as one of three men who helped create the modern techniques of CPR. The summary is just fine.
