We haven't come up with a proposal metal enough to keep people away for 10,000 years. http://www.damninteresting.com/this-place-is-not-a-place-of-honor/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Interference_Task_Force The idea of an "atomic priesthood" is interesting. Somebody watched Beneath the Planet of the Apes too many times.

We need to just encase it in a barrier with a single airlock-style entryway underground. Where there's no way anyone accidently goes in there. If they enter and cycle the airlock, they're flooded with the radiation from inside and can stroll around in there as much as they want until they start falling apart a few minutes later. I'm calling it the Darwin Disposal Facility, and put a sign out front that says Republican National Convention.

In other news, the former Soviet foreign minister that helped to herald in perestroika and later became a corrupt despot for Georgia passed away. How many old soviet leaders are still left, I can't imagine there's too many still hanging around.

I don't think Putin really counts, he wasn't a big player until he took over the FSB. I mean he was a Lt. Col. for the KGB but that's not really a big policymaker like a foreign minister is.

Snowdens Secret posted:http://www.cbsnews.com/news/veteran-dies-waiting-for-ambulance-in-va-hospital-in-new-mexico/ The VA policy of waiting for an ambulance to take a guy two doors down is pretty much standard across the whole healthcare industry. Generally it leads to the best outcome because the last thing that I want is a clerk with zero medical training making medical decisions. That said, a 30 minute response time on a "person down, unresponsive" call is really dogshit, and I have no idea what the facility is like, but I'm surprised that they couldn't scrounge up a nurse and a wheelchair sometime within that half-hour.

I would think they are required to have a code team or a fast react team. If not then what the gently caress... Its a god drat hospital. They should.

Genocide Tendency posted:I would think they are required to have a code team or a fast react team. It comes down to liability. While you do want to do the best that you can for anyone who needs help in your facility, you don't want there to be a legal presupposition that everyone who walks through your door is a patient. Also, there's a good chance that whatever's wrong with the patient might be better handled at another hospital, and your average paramedic is pretty good at figuring that out. That said, if I'd been one of the jackoffs just standing around in line I'd probably have gotten a couple other dudes to help me carry him to the ED. At the very least it gets him on oxygen and shaves a couple of minutes off of response time.

There's a kind of poetry in a veteran who dies because a vehicle wasn't dispatched. They couldn't drive the ambulance. At the hospital.

I worked at a hospital as a security guard for a little while and they were pretty fanatical about having a procedure in place for these kind of situations. Alerts go off and people haul rear end. I guess I'm skeptical that there are professionals all over the place who give a poo poo that a guy who collapses in the cafeteria was only there for lunch and wasn't a formally admitted patient. edit: Article is light on details and I dont have time to look into it right now- if the staff was instructed to call 911 I'm guessing there's more of a disconnect between the facilities than a mere "500 yards" physical one. My anecdote probably doesn't apply. Victor Vermis fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jul 9, 2014 |

It's not that they don't care, or that people weren't working to save the guy, it's just procedure. You don't want staff moving people or trying to render aid that they aren't trained to provide. So you keep it dirt simple (CPR) and tell them to call 911.

If your code/react teams aren't able to move people by gurney or render aid to someone... I guess if they had their own vehicle available 24/7 and a plan in place to always go to that option because the cafeteria is a separate facility I could see how the ball would be dropped on redundancy.

Like I get liability and procedure and poo poo but if calling 911 for an ambulance is the procedure you come up with for old-rear end people collapsing anywhere inside a VA hospital then you've really hosed up. I'm just shocked this hasn't already been happening every month.

I hate to break it to you homes, but odds are that almost everyone who posts in GiP will one day collapse and die while waiting to fill out paperwork at the VA. Best thing that you can hope for is that your last sight isn't some pimple-faced intern shoving his mouth over yours and trying to breathe chipotle-stink oxygen into your lungs.
