Ambulance workers in Los Angeles County have reportedly been told not to transport patients with “little chance of survival” to local hospitals as intensive care units are overwhelmed with COVID patients.

The directive from the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency, obtained by CNN, also tells the ambulance workers to “conserve the use of oxygen.”

In Los Angeles, many intensive care units are at capacity as a disastrous wave of the virus surges across Southern California.

Due to these factors, EMS workers were told to “perform resuscitation for at least 20 minutes” if a patient’s heart has stopped instead of taking them to a hospital.

You are on a death list here in Los Angeles now.

Supposedly due to the shortage of bed because of the chinese virus.
Plus no oxygen either after all these months of a democratic party lockdown of free people that they did not prepare.

You can bet they will expand the requirement and any patient will be treated like they do in socialist countries. How much money can we make for our bonus if we have people on a death list.

The NHS will do what they have always done and kill the patient so they can make higher bonus money for themselves.

Google: Liverpool Care Pathway, daily mail
125,000+ people per year killed.

No, the coroner comes.

I literally watched my husband drop dead. I started CPR and called ems. After 10 minutes they transported him to the Ed where resuscitative efforts continued. He never had ROSC, never resumed an organized rhythm, despite rounds of defibrillation, epic, and CPR.

I say this so that people understand that I I know personally what it’s like to have a loved one suddenly and without warning suffer cardiac arrest.

I’ve also cared for people who suffered a cardiac arrest or stroke. Unless you can achieve ROSC within the first few minutes, your chances of a favorable outcome drop exponentially. And if you do “successfully” resuscite them chances are the person left with devastating neurological injuries. More than likely they will die a few months later from a ventilator associated pneumonia, sepsis from a uti or infected pressure ulcer, or gangrene from multiple pressor use to maintain perfusion My husband wouldn’t have wanted to end up like that. If you’ve ever had a loved one in the ICU
then you know what I’m talking about.

God Bless You. I think your husband was better off skipping the “survival” joys in an ICU.

I have often contemplated a DNR for this very reason.

Thanks for sharing your story.
