I performed CPR on my dog with my foot & revived her after she had a heart attack and sunk in 4ft of water while retrieving a stick. She didn't inhale water because she stopped breathing before she sunk.

As far as broken rubs go, BFD. I've had 13 rib fractures and my sternum split down the middle from various motorcycle & other sports accidents. Only once did a rib bloody up a lung, and it healed in a few months. I'd rather have broken ribs than be dead.

Have you found from later X-rays, decades later that chest X-rays don’t show those earlier breaks?

I’m asking because I was a bike rider for decades and broke many ribs on both sides but later X-rays didn’t show those earlier breaks.

By chance I was speaking to a stranger with a similar bike riding history to me and he had the same. Earlier breaks were not showing on later chest X-rays.
