Mind of the Resuscitationist
In a previous wees and lectures, we discussed Chapman's Dictum: smoothness=speed; slow is smooth, smooth is fast
So go slow!
Update
Love this quote brought to my attention by G. Harrison:
When I say that I learned to take my time in a gunfight, I do not wish to be misunderstood, for the time to be taken was only that split fraction of a second that means the difference between deadly accuracy with a sixgun and a miss. It is hard to make this clear to a man who has never been in a gunfight. Perhaps I can best describe such time taking as going into action with the greatest speed of which a man’s muscles are capable, but mentally unflustered by an urge to hurry or the need for complicated nervous and muscular actions which trick-shooting involves. Mentally deliberate, but muscularly faster than thought, is what I mean
