-Demosthenes- Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6875358/?GT1=6190 Could this have been a problem with the doctor's negligence?
blike Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 No, it was EMT's who declared him dead on the scene. When I took my EMS course over the summer, they told us that if his body was intact, let a doctor declare him dead, even if he's blue, no pulse, and not breathing. Emergency medical technicians had declared 29-year-old Larry D. Green dead almost two hours earlier, after he was hit by a car.
blike Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Actually, now that I read it again, "Medical examiner J.B. Perdue was called to the accident scene Monday but did not examine Green then." It's hard to say from that sentence alone though.
