Reply to comment by KrippledElephan in Denver firefighters suspended for getting woman pronounced dead even though she was alive by xraygun2014
Bro, you can both be right depending on where you work. I’m a medic, and we bring in dead pts if the doc is in the mood. Pulseless vtachs and vfibs usually end up getting transported. Asystole almost never. Sometimes PEA. Stop and remember for a second that America is a massive and diverse place and your experience isn’t the same as everyone else’s. Don’t talk down to him when you’re just as wrong

The 99.99% dude talking out his ass isn't in the medical field. He's a cop. And spreading misinformation is his second day job.

I responded directly to the EMT above me. He’s wrong too but he was more confident about it. We transport dead bodies sometimes

how can he be wrong when he is only speaking to what he's told at his place of work in Colorado? he's not speaking for everybody everywhere like officer dumbass is.

“This dude has literally 0 idea wtf he’s talking about” is incorrect because he’s applying his singular experience in Colorado to someone working elsewhere under different protocols. We transport dead bodies in my state. The guy I responded to said that’s not what happens. He’s objectively wrong and I called him out on it as a higher level of care provider. In my area, doctors pronounce the patient 99.99% of the time. If someone works in a different system where things are done differently I wouldn’t tell him he’s wrong
