Bullshit
If effective CPR is initiated early you CAN still have a good neurological outcome despite prolonged downtime.

Imagining this scenario at Shipley, it's not a huge stretch to say the ambos could be there in 20 min (where's the nearest ambo station?). 20 min is a long time to be receiving CPR but people have gone for longer and still had good neurological outcomes once zapped.
