More proof for me there is nothing wrong being filthy rich.
“ I think we can agree that this is a good example of NBC sensationalizing our current situation to stoke and take advantage of people’s fears and emotions.”
That is all nbc does. People need to get with the program.
Between this, cause of death possible being changed to CV-19, supplies that mysteriously appear- just doesn’t make sense.
Like the Kenyan communist faggot said: "Give them aspirin and send them home"...
Amen
Just to be clear, cardiac arrest means the heart has stopped.
It’s not a heart attack, or MI.
Generally speaking CA is dead. Most any CPR is for the family.
Welcome to the democRAT death panels.
Right. If you are room temperature even the best ER cannot save you
To try to revive dead people who are already room temperature? Sorry no
Perhaps it depends on the age of the heart attack victim? My brother was in his early 40’s when he had a sudden heart attack. The paramedics worked on him and then the cardiac team at the hospital did as well. I think it gave my parents some small comfort that every measure was taken.
Even the fact that it happened while he was at work rather than when he was at home alone was a blessing Saved them from the torture of thinking that he could have been saved if he hadn’t been alone.
And worse for out of hospital arrests
Yup.
New York is governed by lunatics.
It’s called triage
That happens a lot more than people realize. My daughter is a paramedic. She explained this to me in very clear terms: if you get to a house and the heart has been stopped for more than a few minutes (cardiac arrest) you are not getting them back. Chest pains, clearly a “heart attack”, they will work on them as long as they are alive.
This is nothing more than a reporting change. Don’t transport dead people. Call the funeral home/ME.
Cardiac arrest is not a heart attack. Cardiac arrest is dead on the floor. Heart attacks is alive and in incredible pain. Very much alive and letting you know it hurts.
It might sound the same...but one is savable. The other is dead.
I’ve seen my Dad have a heart attack. I saw my father in law in cardiac arrest. Two very different scenes.
John Mendoza. He was on one of the HBO Young Comedians specials in the early 90’s IIRC. He was pretty funny. Check You Tube.
Yeah let’s do this now BEFORE the freaking Hospitals are even stressed
Besides if you didn’t die from Corona, ya didn’t really die
Cardiac arrest is survivable. Especially if brought to the ErR follow on to MICU
The headline is expected propaganda.
The last paragraph is all one needs to read. fDNY states EMTs are not to bring dead people to the ED
Just duh.
