I think it's pretty old but it has to do with who is and isn't allow to declare someone dead. But it's like "this person's head isn't attached to their body, I feel pretty confident in saying we can go 30 mph to the hospital. it's not a rush."

Decapitation is the standard example, but full disembowelment/"full bodily disruption" also count iirc. It means "I don't have authorization to declare this person dead but they're super not alive."

"Injuries not compatible with life: These include but are not necessarily limited to decapitation or other catastrophic brain trauma, incineration, severed body, and injuries that do not permit effective administration of CPR. If a patient has sustained such injuries, it should be intuitively obvious that the patient is non-viable."

Décapitation is when the head is no longer attached to the body; severed body is when part of the body is no longer attached to part of itself.

That makes sense for sure and I see now how it arose as a term. I guess there's a bunch of medical terms like that that sound really bizarre when you're used on common/lay speak!

Classically people "know" doctors can declare people dead and nurses can't, but that's actually not totally true, and there are a lot of edge cases, but anyway if you're employed in the field you know whether you're allowed to state someone is dead or not, and alternatively there are these official wiggle phrases.

Ughughughughugh

After the 2017 Ohio State Fair accident (not going to post a video, but it's easily found and graphic) the obvious fatality had CPR performed on the body by an on-site security or police officer (uncertain of their actual title) and to the best of my knowlege, the first responder had to continue even though to anyone not a moron the injuries were clearly incompatible with life simply because someone had started the procedure and they were not qualified to call. :stonk:

It seems somehow worse when it's being described a layman who doesn't know the 'proper' terminology. I read this story about three teens who got hit by a train while posing for a selfie more than a year ago, and the exact phrasing still sticks with me:

quote:

John raced back when the train finally stopped about a quarter mile down the track. The first girl he saw had no pulse and it was clear a second girl was no longer alive.

It looks like one of those webpages where if you keep scrolling it goes to another article and the url changes, but the page never reloads, so you probably just copied the link from the next article that you were technically looking at.

Injuries incompatible with life chat reminds me of my father's story about Vargas and his silk pillowcases.

Vargas bought a couple of silk pillowcases to send back home, then the team got called out on a Slam Hatchet (bring everything you've got ASAP, the ground convoy in Black Hawk Down sort of situation). So Vargas stuffed the souvenirs down the front of his shirt, and went out to save some Marines.

Vargas got shot.

"I'm hit! I'm dying!" Vargas yells.
The Master Sergeant replies "You ain't hit, the LT's hit, half his head's gone! Quit whining and get back on the fuckin' gun."
Despite being, as far as he knew, mortally wounded, Vargas got back on the Ma Deuce, and they made a tactical retreat.

When they got back to base, Vargas took off his jacket and a ball of silk around a 7.62 bullet fell out.

Silk is basically nature's Kevlar, Vargas took a 7.62x39 to the chest and walked away with a cracked sternum. The LT with half a head, that's injuries incompatible with life.

The New York Times magazine has a story about a hiker that went missing in Joshua Tree in 2010, and also weirdos like a lot of us who get borderline obsessed with things like that.

Re: "incompatible with life", when I was in medic training our instructor gave us an example from a wilderness SAR mission he'd been on. A guy had gone missing cross-country skiing in Alaska. They found him, eventually, but he was literally frozen solid slumped against a tree. They had to tie down the body in a seated position on the sledge and apparently it was a day or two before the body thawed enough to autopsy. Then there were also the photos of the guy who got sucked through a jet engine (it wasn't something my instructor had responded to; photos are out there if you want), in which case the recommended treatment is a strong stomach and a power washer.

Yeah or the honestly even more horrifying set of photos, of the guy who was hit by an aircraft on a carrier during takeoff. It impaled his head on... some? part of the aircraft and split it such that the head looks like some weird donut full of teeth.

There's something weirdly fascinating about these diagrams and breakdowns about catastrophic events that lead to deaths, all presented realtively sanitised, in a way that horrible footage about the same event isn't. Maybe it's because the imagination is doing part of the work and it turns it into a short form horror story, except it actually happened.

A good example of when the sustaining life blah blah part doesn't work would be a drowning victim

Life guards will give CPR and defib until the ambulance shows up and then the medics will keep doing that until the doctor finally says ok this body has been dead for the past half hour you can stop


It really sucks because it gives the family and friends false hope , in reality you're just practicing compressions on a corpse

Even had once where the stomach contents started to come up out of the mouth (scrambled eggs and roasted veggies) and the father got all excited because he thought it meant his son was alive and vomiting
