#9 Physician assistant saves honeymooning doctor’s life mid-flight: ‘She did everything right’
Source: wabi.tv
‘BALTIMORE (WBAL) - A physician assistant on board a flight from Hawaii managed to save the life of a fellow passenger who just so happened to be a doctor returning from her honeymoon.’
‘“I became really nauseous. Thankfully, I was very close to the restroom. So, I ran to the restroom and started vomiting. I became very sweaty... and then, I started to have very bad chest pains,” Lacera said.’
‘Haley answered the call, first checking Lacera’s vital signs. She figured out pretty quickly that the doctor was having some type of arrhythmia.’
Baffling.
‘When Haley learned Lacera is a doctor, they began working together. Haley gave Lacera fluids and oxygen and laid her down, but Lacera was still deteriorating. So, Haley decided she needed to use a defibrillator.’
‘“We talked about it, and I said, ‘I think I need to shock you. I don’t have a choice.’ And she said, ‘Let’s do it,’” Haley said.’
‘After the ordeal, Lacera says she reached out to her congressman about what she says was a lack of proper medical equipment on board the plane. She says she hasn’t heard back.’
Sounds like they had proper medical equipment to me.
Firefighters aren’t historically known for having heart attacks on the job. At least, that’s my understanding.

#11 Sheriff: Medical emergency at Mount Bachelor Ski Resort results in fatality
Source: ktvl.com
‘DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — Monday afternoon (March 17), Deschutes County 911 received an emergency SOS text message from an Apple device via satellite reporting a "trapped and injured person in steep terrain." GPS coordinates included in the message indicated the location was on the west side of Mount Bachelor.’
‘Ski patrollers reached the reporting party and assumed patient care. Minutes later, the patient was transported to the Mt. Bachelor Clinic, where he succumbed to his injuries.’
‘Investigators determined Shelkey was found unresponsive, buried headfirst in a tree well. Third parties at the scene worked for approximately 15 to 20 minutes to free him before beginning CPR.’
So, a “tree well” is an area underneath a tree that has less snow than out from under the tree. It makes kind of a dip.
You learn stuff all the time in TROME.
‘"While the cause of the accident remains under investigation, and the official cause of death has not yet been determined, the circumstances are consistent with snow immersion suffocation," DCSo said. "The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office urges outdoor enthusiasts to use caution when recreating in backcountry and resort areas, particularly in deep snow conditions."’
Yeah, well, I wonder if “snow immersion suffocation” skyrocketed after 2021 like drowning deaths did. I know, I know — accidents happen on ski mountains. People sometime faceplant, they hit trees. Whatever. While this accident remains under the rubric of speculation, what I DO know is this: the mainstream medical community is apparently running as fast as they can away from blaming the shots for anything, which I deduce from the decided lack of reporting on the subject of possible harm from the shots. If the shots ever are mentioned in the case of a sudden death, it’s always in the context of deboonking the “conspiracy theorists.” They apparently will do anything to abut their case, including flagrant manipulation of data. For example, the authors of this JAMA network research letter on drowning deaths should be called before an ethics committee. They call a flat line a slope and claim the drastic skyrocketing seen after 2020 actually started in 2016. This was done in order to fit their predetermined conclusion that the rise was down to — altogether now — GLOBAL WARMING!
Here’s the article I wrote on the topic:
It's Official: They're Blaming Global Warming
Study: Trends of Heat-Related Deaths in the US, 1999-2023
Here’s their data when excluding the years 2021 and beyond.
And here it is with the clot shot years included:
Notice that the peaks of 1999, 2006, and 2011 are all higher than that of 2020. This is typical sine wave-like data, and it shows, as their trendline up to 2016 describes, a mild decrease in drowning deaths. After 2016 the trend remains flat but the fraudulent trendline drawn over the graph shows a rise. It’s fraud. These people need to prosecuted for scientific fraud, in my opinion.
Back in TROME, we have more fun on the slopes:

‘"I had to see the medic because I was feeling, you know, dizzy, dehydrated, not going to the toilet properly, but I was peeing a lot as well. So all the fluids were just going through me and not keeping any goodness inside my body."’
I mean, it could be plain ol’ heat stroke. Sure. But apparently medical attention was always nearby, and he had plenty of water. Sounds like another day in TROME to me.

‘According to the NHS, seizures are "bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affect how it works. They can cause a wide range of symptoms."’
‘Epilepsy can start at any age, but usually starts either in childhood or in people over 60. It's often lifelong, but can sometimes get slowly better over time.’
‘Having a seizure does not mean you have epilepsy. A seizure can have several causes and sometimes they're just a one-off, but you should see a doctor to find out why it happened.’
Yeah, right. Go to a doctor so they can recommend your 10th covid shot booster and remain baffled about your sudden onset of seizures.
On that note — I’m out.
Adieu
I’m also glad to see you back Chad Rabbit. Reporting such as yours breaks through the insane silence we are all witnessing and your witty observations are always appreciated. Today’s post assures me I am not alone (or insane). We are witnessing an insane calamity that often feels beyond the emotional capacity of humanity and comprehending the scale of what is unfolding is incomprehensible to most. I’m taking one day at a time. What else can we do but pray, observe and prepare spiritually for what’s next as best we can.
