Bernard McFacknutah posted:To be honest it's the worst thing I've dealt with, far worse than rotting bodies. He was alive and breathing when I first met him, a quarter hour later he is dead and I'm going through his wallet for ID and having to flick through pictures of his kids and wife. Technically he didn't die until he got to hospital and a doctor said he was dead, but by the time the Paramedics got him on a stretcher he had copped it. I've heard the exact same thing from other copbros of mine who have had the same experience. It's really unfair to first responders that they don't emphasize the reality of CPR. It wasn't anything you did wrong. Without an AED or an emergency room minutes away, your dude's odds were pretty bad. You did what you could for him, and that's all anyone could ask for. If you want to chat about it or anything, hit me up. Take care of yourself.

I have a coworker who has managed to save 2 people out of probably 20 attempts in his 15 years on the job, and in my county depending on where you collapse your wait time for an AED to get on scene could be aywhere from 5-20 minutes.

not a cop but when I was going through cpr training our guys just basically said "they're probably dead, but maybe when you hand them off to the emts with paddles/aed you'll have saved them some brain damage" then we got aeds. then we got told to never use them on people outside the cg.

The way I've always looked at it is this, you probably won't save this guy but if you keep at the cpr the brain dead gently caress could donate all sorts of organs improving the lives of countless needy orphans.

In a city setting, good passerby CPR is much better and some people wake up because of it, with no adverse effects on their daily lives. One dude had collapsed next to his wife when they were talking about the holiday in North Dakota. Passerby CPR kept him until we arrived and after some fancy poo poo, shocking got him back up. He continued talking about North Dakota. A tad eery.

I am a "First Responder" at the IRS which means I was trained to push the AED buttan at the time it tells me to....twice even. Also, CPR usually results in a 15%ish survival rate...according to an article on slate or the atlantic which I cannot for the life of me find right now so gently caress you and die with your sore arm and blue lower lip. Don't be a lazy sack of poo poo like the loving shitbags hiding behind the engy door on the subway. SAVE PEOPLE! Do the jerb that you are not constitutionally bound to do...no matter what shithole you live in. Go be a security guard if you wanna run away like a fat lazy oval office.

Oi Bernard can you get your colleagues to stop blowing up taxis? Or blow up more taxis to make the bus lanes emptier. I'm unsure about how I feel re: the met exploding cabs. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/driver-livid-after-police-blew-up-his-broken-down-taxi-in-terror-scare-near-the-gherkin-9809597.html SubStandard posted:

Don't worry sweetie, I'll hit you up. No need to play coy, I'll even wear my beat helmet while I splash your tonsils. Seriously though, I was a bit bummed out for the rest of the shift but after speaking to the doctor and realizing it was more or less a hopeless exercise from the beginning I just chalked it down to 'life'.

Well, there are 40000 MET officers in London, another 800 from City of London who only police a single district, maybe 500 from BTP who police the train stations (over and underground), a couple of hundred Ministry of Defense police who guard MOD property and a fluctuating number of NCIS agents (UK FBI) who are loving useless. A couple of my dad's old colleagues joined NICS when it was formed a few years ago and all they ever say is how the whole organization is rotten from the bottom up.

If you were in the MET you'd be getting eye-raped by half the force. And I don't mean the female half. We have a bear as a custody skipper, he jokingly makes passes at young male probationers and it's hilarious to watch them shrivel up like a ladyboys scrotum.

Anecdotal, but my brother saved the lives of 5 cardiac patients in a row last year using CPR. Over about a 2 week period. He says the odds of that happening are ridiculous and pretty much unheard of.
