Well, if someone could demonstrate the math where bloated, inefficient fire EMS is superior to a private ambulance company especially in a place like Palo Alto, I'm all ears.. fact is, most people just don't stay in ems like they do in suppression or law. Really tough way to make a living after...

thing is, prolly not too many places in palo alto that are more than 5 mins from a hospital.

Bid it out to the privates and be done with it.

yeah...I'm sure it happened exactly the way the evening news took the story from the family...

There's no reason 'Nurse Line' type services can't be replaced by and AI platform (ie, Kaiser's Ask a Nurse, or whatever) because they're just a scripted screening tool run by algorithm to funnel patient into clinics by appointment or recognize the most basic life threatening emergencies. Even...

there was a firehouse that would do maybe a call a day and one day they noticed moisture in the LR packaging and threw about four cases away thinking they were leaking...

For the sake of discussion, that the cell lines are no longer the actual aborted fetal cells is not necessarily a resolution to the ethical conflict. Sure, the original cells are pretty far removed from the cells as they exist today, but the fact that they originated from the objected to means...

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Rom 13:1 ....and here we go...I'm gonna stop, but just suffice it to say that if someone cannot specifically articulate a commonly accepted and...

Can't speak for everyone about ethical objections to vaccines, but historically the objection has been to those vaccines derived using fetal cell lines that originated in an abortion. No use of those cell lines, no ethical impediment. What really made the Covid inoculation complicated for some...

So she froze...what specific crime would she be charged with? Recognizing an error is not a crime, failure to rescue is not a crime and the two are completely unrelated. I suppose someone could make the case for involuntary manslaughter, but then you could argue that the rest of the team's...

No way the details from a news story are accurate or even useful....but....sounds like she gave the roc, left briefly for something, discovered the error and came back to find the patient in arrest. Trying to explain to the other non ALS personnel on the scene at that point what happened is...

Yeah, this looks like a call for study subjects without a proposal or abstract so there's no telling what the study design, statistical modeling, methods etc. will be. Just smells like something that would not pass IRB muster in the US, but could in Europe. Having seen many left atrial thrombi...

Had to check your last posts to be sure you weren't a robot...doesn't seems so, so I'll chime in. You don't post any links to an actual randomized DBS so I'm still dubious as to the premise of the post...just for starters, that a broad swathe of patients don't even know they're in a fib, not...
