Unless they are homosexuals. Mayor DeStupido will be watching closely the Franklin Graham hospital folks so they better not reject anyone.
To give New Yorkers something to crowd the wharfs and gawk at?
An open invitation for Ambulance Chasers to climb out of their holes with fistfuls of lawsuits.
And conservatives.
To free up 1000 beds inside the hospitals. The ship is basically a trauma hospital...so seriously ill people with no sign of Corona...
2nd-ary and tertiary effects to the general mortality rates affected by China Virus. The virus may or may not cause as many deaths as expected but the side effects are the reduced care available for sufferers of other ailments! That’s the force multiplyer killer aspect of the China Virus.
Buy an AED kit and learn cpr should be the mantra of the masses.(at least the chest compression part since good chest compression do get air into the lungs and blood circulating in the body. Many more lives could be saved.
Shouldn't heart attack victims, who are American citizens, get preference over illegal aliens who need emergency EMT care? One would think not too long ago that would be the case, but no more. We have allowed our country to slip almost entirely away.
This specifies cardiac arrest. If the paramedics are able reestablish a heartbeat and transport for further efforts it is still logged as a cardiac arrest event. This does not say don’t bring dead bodies, it says don’t bring any cardiac arrest patients who are still, if barely, alive. It implies a hospital imposed DNR for cardiac arrest.
I maintain that New York is a total waste. Evil Empire if there ever was one. Greedy bastards and self centered. I have no desire to ever go there and even more now.
Yes, that is the concept, but this is NYC after all with their glorious mayor Doomberg.
Ok. So they are saying let people die. This is just to make people scared.
Gotcha.
Not doing CPR on dead people is not "allowing them to die".
Mike
No they are definitely not saying let people die. They are saying what I said they are saying. Don’t bring dead people to the ER
Read it. Stop wasting my time.
I understand what cardiac arrest means. It means your heart has stopped beating. Not fluttering around. Not working hard because of a blockage. But stopped. Arrested.
If you come along and find Dad on the toilet with no heartbeat, by the time the ambulance gets there he is as dead as you get. He isn’t going to the hospital. Even before this declaration.
If you are in a hospital and go into a cardiac arrest, depending on the telemetry you are on, they might be able to save you. But probably not.
Cardiac arrest is not a heart attack, where an artery is clogged.
We are agreeing, silly. You are getting worked up at the wrong person.
But yeah...you are in cardiac arrest for ten minutes...you don’t want to come back.
Read the article. Then also stop posting to me. Illogic.
Cardiac arrest is survivable.
Do people here just need to hate New York?
“It says don’t bring any cardiac arrest patients who are still, if barely, alive. It implies a hospital imposed DNR for cardiac arrest.”
No it doesn’t. Here is what it says:
“...the NYPD or medical examiner can be called to remove the body; the patient is not to be brought to the hospital.
The FDNY says the department will document each instance this occurs.
Emergency officials tell NBC News the measure will alleviate an influx of patients from going to the hospitals that have no hope of being saved.”
