The Rise of the Medical Emergency, Pt. 83 - Aug 30th - Sept 1st Reports
A middle schooler, a football mother, a football player, a TV show, a pitcher, a dog and good Samaritans, drivers, drivers, drivers, a walker, a baby, liars, and prisoners. And others. It's TROME
1) Student dies after ‘medical emergency’ at California middle school
‘A student died Tuesday, Aug. 29, after emergency workers were called to Canyon Lake Middle School.’
‘“In this difficult moment, we are deeply saddened to confirm the passing of one of our students due to a medical emergency on one of our LEUSD campuses,” the statement released by district spokesperson Melissa Valdez reads. “Our hearts are with the family, friends and our school community.”’
‘The child, whose name was not released, was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead. An investigation continues and the department said further details were not available.’
2) Mountain View mother not expected to survive after collapsing at son's football game
‘MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Community members in Mountain View have been rallying around a family that suffered "an unthinkable series of events," that began when the family’s teenage son was injured during a high school football game on Friday and the mother then collapsed while on the field.’
‘The teen’s mother, Lucinda Daniels, suffered back to back strokes and was not expected to survive, according to the family.’
‘It was during Mountain View High School's away game against The King’s Academy in Sunnyvale when varsity senior Dillon Daniels went down with injuries.
Both parents rushed to the field and what unfolded next was described as tragic and surreal. As the teen’s father, Dale Daniels, kneeled down next to his son, the dad fainted.
On Tuesday, he told KTVU he was trying to calm and comfort his son when his legs got numb. "I started feeling, tingly, stood up and got light-headed," the dad recalled of the moments before he passed out.
An ambulance was called to tend to the father, who appeared to be okay. But then it was his wife, Lucinda, who collapsed next. She was rushed to the hospital.’
‘"During the event Dillon's mom, Lucinda, suffered a stroke. Tragically, she suffered a second stroke on Saturday night that has left her with no brain activity," said friends who have started a GoFundMe for the Daniels family.’
She was an organ donor. I don’t think that’s the best news.
3) Off-duty EMT workers assist Bunkie football player after medical emergency
‘BUNKIE, La. (KALB) - Emergency medical technicians who were off duty came to the aid of a Bunkie High School football player who experienced a medical emergency after the Avoyelles Parish Jamboree on August 25. Bunkie starting quarterback Dillon Compton suffered from heat exhaustion after playing in the jamboree.
“We were actually headed towards the gate about to leave because everything was over,” said Dexter Compton, Dillon’s father. “One of the students said, ‘Something is wrong with Dillon.’”’
‘“He had an 80-yard touchdown run that got called back, and he was going at a really high tempo that whole time,” said Bunkie head coach Jimmie Hillman.
As the team walked to the endzone, Compton started to move slower than his teammates, eventually needing medical help after a heat-related illness.’
‘“Next thing you know, we’re taking his pads off of him, and he’s breathing, everything was fine,” said Hillman. “He’s just kind of having trouble speaking. [We] sat him down and then we laid him down and started treating him for what we figured was heat exhaustion and a little bit of dehydration, stuff like that.”
That’s when off-duty EMT workers Chris Fitzgerald, Beau Milligan and Darren Casio went instantly to aid the 16-year-old, along with the paramedics, by bringing fluids and an IV to keep him stable.’
‘Compton was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent tests and saw a doctor, thanks to those EMT workers getting to Dillon right away.’
‘Dillon’s family said he is doing great and will be back in action tomorrow, August 31.’
Back in action a week later.
Pretty… good?
I mean, it could be the heat. The thing is, if it wasn’t hot, and they do tests, and they come back normal, then it looks medically the same as if it was hot. I mean, not to belabor the point. Anybody reading this doesn’t really need to be convinced these guys call everything and anything ABTV. Moving on.
4) Below Deck Down Under Preview: Crew Help Guest After Scary Seizure
I guess this is a tv show.
‘What happens when someone has a medical emergency in the middle of a Below Deck charter? Unfortunately, we’ll find out on the next Below Deck Down Under episode.’
‘In a sneak peek of Season 2, Episode 14, this charter season took another dark turn when a charter guest suffered a medical emergency. The crew sprung into action, and the footage is incredible.’
‘Everything was business as usual, but then one of the charter guests suffered a seizure. Captain Jason and Aesha Scott sprung into action right away, with the chief stew calling for paramedics to come to meet them at sea.
Luckily, the crew knew how to care for the guest until the medics arrived. Apparently, the yachties are trained in first aid. That’s yet another one of the many responsibilities for the yachties.’
‘In the clip, the entire crew rallied to ensure that the guest was cared for until the medics arrived. But then, they were presented with another challenge: how do you bounce back and keep the party going for the rest of the charter guests? It’s just another day in the life of a Below Deck crew member.’
Yep. Day in the life, boys.
5) Former Red Sox pitcher Bill "Spaceman" Lee recovering after suffering health scare at Polar Park
‘WORCESTER — Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill "Spaceman" Lee was recovering at UMass Memorial Medical Center Friday after suffering a medical emergency before Thursday's Worcester Red Sox game against Norfolk at Polar Park.
The 76-year-old southpaw was on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and sign autographs for fans throughout the game. However, Lee fell ill while playing catch in the outfield and was attended to immediately by WooSox medical personnel. He walked off the field to the dugout on his own before being taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center.’
‘“While he seems to have recovered quickly, doctors have recommended checking him out at a nearby hospital just to be sure,” the statement said. “He has experienced such episodes before, and has been fine thereafter.”’
He has, has he?
‘Lee also collapsed on a Georgia field about a year ago while he was pitching for the Savannah Bananas, a novelty barnstorming team. Paramedics at that game resuscitated him with a defibrillator.’
Rough couple years.
Lot of that going around.
6) Lost Dog 'Saved a Life' As Search Party Finds Elderly Man Trapped for Days
‘People searching for the owner of a dog that bolted from its Indiana home ended up saving a man's life after hearing his screams coming from inside a house, according to police.’
‘A couple of "good Samaritans" who found a dog that broke her chain tried to find her owner when, by chance, they found a man in serious need of medical attention.’
‘In a Monday, August 28, police Facebook post, a spokesperson said: "When going door to door looking for the home of the dog, the good Samaritans could hear a male subject yelling for help inside of a home.
"The man entered the residence where he located an elderly male who needed immediate medical attention and had been down, immobilized for at least two days. The individuals called 911 and Rescue 20 came and provided immediate care and transported the elderly male to the hospital."’
‘The specific details of the man's medical emergency were not released by police and his current condition was not known as of Wednesday morning.’
7) Updated: Crash temporarily closes Hannegan Road (Aug. 31)
‘WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — First responders were dispatched to the intersection of Hannegan Road and E Axton Road about 8:45am on Thursday, August 31st, due to reports of a head on crash.’
‘According to the PulsePoint EMS dispatch log reporting system, at least 1 patient was transported from the crash scene to PeaceHealth St Joseph’s Medical Center by a medic unit.’
‘The driver of 1 of the 2 vehicles involved was extricated by NWFR and Medic 6 personnel. They were then transported to PeaceHealth St Joseph’s Medical Center in critical condition.
The driver of the other vehicle was evaluated by personnel from BFD and transported with non-life-threatening injuries by ambulance.’
‘Early speculation was that one of the drivers had a medical emergency prior to the crash.’
8) Ga. sheriff killed in car crash while responding to call
‘ROCHELLE, Ga. — The Wilcox County Sheriff was killed in a crash Tuesday afternoon while responding to a call, according to the county coroner.’
‘The Georgia State Patrol was investigating the crash. Brown said there was no indication the crash was weather-related.
“The vehicle traveled off the roadway where it struck a tree and came to rest on the driver’s side,” the State Patrol said in an email late Tuesday.’
And that’s it about the car crash. Not weather-related. No word on the driver’s condition, what caused the wreck, or anything. Interesting.
They include some interesting statistics in this article:
‘He is the third Georgia law enforcement member to die in the line of duty this year, according to the Officer Down page.’
‘In January, Master Patrol Officer C.J. Williams with the Cairo Police Department died after suffering a medical emergency during a foot pursuit.’
That’s messed up.
And also:
‘In 2022, six Georgia law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty, including two Cobb County deputies who were shot. A Gwinnett County corrections officer, Scott Riner, was also shot to death before his shift. Six other officers died from medical issues, according to the Officer Down website.’
Six officers died to medical issues in one year? Is that normal?
9) Man dead after single-vehicle crash in Midtown Toronto
‘A man was rushed to hospital where he was later pronounced dead following a single-vehicle crash in Midtown Toronto. It's not clear what caused the crash or whether the man suffered a medical emergency.’
It’s spooky, sure, but — that doesn’t look like a fatal collision to me. We don’t get a lot of help from the reporting. I’ve pasted the entire text. There’s a short video report in the link.
10) He collapsed in 103 degree heat working his Texas UPS route. Four days later he was dead.
‘A UPS delivery driver who recently collapsed on his route while working in scorching North Texas heat has died, his employer confirmed Thursday.
Chris Begley, a 28-year UPS veteran, died at a hospital Sunday − four days after he suffered a medical emergency at a delivery location he worked in the city of Farmersville, according to information from local officials and UPS.’
‘While the 57-year-old man's cause of death was not immediately known, the high temperature in the nearby Dallas area was 103 the day he collapsed, according to the National Weather Service.’
If 103 degree heat killed UPS drivers then Texas wouldn’t have any UPS drivers.
‘A Collin County Medical Examiner's Office spokesperson said the coroner was notified about Begley's death but did not conduct his autopsy.
A Farmersville Police Department officer told USA TODAY foul play was not suspected in the man's death, and because Begley died at the hospital, his family will likely decide whether an autopsy is conducted.’
Foul play is suspected.
‘On the day he collapsed, the company reported, Begley contacted a supervisor about what happened and they "immediately responded to his location, ensured he had water and was resting in a cool environment."
UPS offered medical attention, which Begley "declined multiple times," Biciolis said. "He told us he had recovered and asked to be taken home."
After being taken home, he took several days off at his own request. Four days later, Biciolis said, UPS learned Begley had been hospitalized.
"On Monday, we were told he had passed away," she said.’
Well that’s down to the heat, then, isn’t it? He was OK after sitting down and had some water, refused medical attention, and then a few days later he died. Was it hot at his home? Or what?
They simply won’t mention the shots. These muppets.
11) Horseback women respond at night to help 69-year-old man in Emigrant Wilderness
‘Two horseback volunteers with Tuolumne County Sheriff's Search and Rescue rode in darkness into Grouse Lake in the Emigrant Wilderness early Monday to help a 69-year-old man in distress who required a helicopter hoist evacuation once first light dawned that morning.
The man, whose name was not released, used a GPS device or mobile phone to send an Inreach Satellite 911 text for help at, or shortly after, 10 p.m. Sunday. He was experiencing shortness of breath and chest pain in the area of Grouse Lake, east of Crabtree Trailhead and south of Bear Lake.’
He was ‘suffering symptoms of a presumed cardiac event, a Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said.’
12) Walker dies on Scafell Pike following medical emergency
‘A spokesperson from Wasdale Mountain Rescue said: "We were called by both North West Ambulance Service and Cumbria Police about a walker with symptoms of a medical emergency.’
‘"However, the condition of the walker worsened whilst help was en-route, and despite all attempts by passing walkers and the helicopter crews in attendance he tragically did not survive.’
13) Police: Infant dead after medical emergency
I don’t know. Not too much information on this one.
‘HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – Evansville Police say an infant has died following a medical emergency in the 600 block of Sweetser Avenue on Friday.
Authorities say the infant was unresponsive and officers attempted life saving measures before the infant was transported to a hospital. EPD has now confirmed the child has died.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made. Eyewitness News will update this story as new information becomes available.’
The American Heart Association is at it again. These clowns.
Well, it turns out it might not be the heat, and it might not be the cold, and it might not be the duvees. It’s stress and insomnia after menopause.
Don’t’cha know?
14) Stress and insomnia linked to irregular heart rhythm after menopause
‘Insomnia and stressful life events may explain why some women develop an irregular heart rhythm after menopause, new research finds.
Psychosocial factors are "the missing piece to the puzzle" that can lead to atrial fibrillation, or AFib, the study's lead author said. The findings were published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
"I see many postmenopausal women with picture-perfect physical health who struggle with poor sleep and negative psychological emotional feelings or experience, which we now know may put them at risk for developing atrial fibrillation," lead author Dr. Susan X. Zhao said in a news release. Zhao is a cardiologist at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in California.’
‘Researchers analyzed data of more than 83,000 women who participated in the Women's Health Initiative, an ongoing health study in the United States. The women's ages ranged from 50 to 79, and the majority were white.
The participants answered questions about stressful life events, such as the loss of a loved one, illness, divorce, financial pressure, and domestic, verbal, physical or sexual abuse. Questions about their sleeping habits focused on overall quality and if they had trouble falling asleep or woke up during the night. Other questions addressed their life and social supports and their sense of optimism.
More than 1 in 4 participants developed AFib during an average follow-up period of about a decade. For each additional point on the insomnia scale, there was a 4% higher likelihood of developing AFib. Each additional point on the stressful life event scale resulted in a 2% higher likelihood of the heart condition.’
Stress and lack of sleep do that? You don’t say. Any health conditions they find stress and lack of sleep improve? No? M’kay. Important scientific work advancing the science, guys. Great work team.
15) Another St. Louis City Justice Center detainee dies
‘ST. LOUIS — Another St. Louis City Justice Center detainee has died, a little over a week after a detainee died following a medical emergency.’
Coming in hot.
‘St. Louis police Sgt. Charles Wall confirmed the department's Force Investigation Unit was requested to assist the Medical Examiner's Office in investigating the death of a Justice Center detainee.
Public Safety Department spokesman Monte Chambers said at around 1 a.m., other detainees saw the detainee having a medical emergency in the infirmary. They alerted a correctional officer. Twenty minutes later, the officer called for medical assistance and 911 was called.
Chambers said medical staff "performed assessments" until paramedics arrived at 1:21 a.m., and the detainee was transported in an ambulance at around 1:32 a.m. He was later pronounced dead in a hospital around 3:35 a.m.
Officials have not released the inmate's name or a suspected cause of death.’
I suspect the shots.
‘On Aug. 20, Justice Center detainee Carlton Bernard died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital after officials said he had a medical emergency. Officials have not released his cause of death pending toxicology results but trauma was ruled out.’
Depending on your definition of “trauma.”
16) Inmate gives birth alone in Tennessee jail cell after seeking medical help
Methinks there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
‘CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An inmate at a Tennessee jail gave birth alone in a cell after seeking medical help, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.’
‘A review by the sheriff found that an inmate housed in a medical pod notified a deputy of a medical concern at 11:31 a.m., the statement said. The deputy contacted medical staff and a licensed practical nurse assessed the inmate and left to consult with additional medical staff. A registered nurse then arrived and conducted a follow up assessment, the sheriff said.
“After the follow-up assessment, the medical staff left the cell but continued to assess the situation and order additional medical tests. Deputies continued to check on the inmate during this time,” the statement said.
A deputy responded again to the inmate’s cell at 12:41 p.m. and found she had given birth while in her cell, the statement said.’
Did you catch the times? The mother feels something happening while she was pregnant, enough to alert the staff, and then an hour and fifteen minutes later she’s given birth? That’s pretty quick. That sounds pretty quick to me. What do I know?
But there’s also no word on how far along in her pregnancy she was. Do they just leave 9 month pregnant women in normal housing conditions? That sounds improbable to me. I’m thinking the baby may have been quite premature. But I’m guessing.
‘The deputy helped the inmate while medical staff and emergency medical services were alerted. After being treated at the jail, both mother and infant were taken to the hospital. No further information was immediately released.’
Copy that.
Normalization TROME. Or is this Fallout TROME? Eh. Both.
17) Sepsis Too Often Neglected in Hospitals
‘More than 1400 hospitals in the United States do not have a sepsis program […]’
Ha ha I’m not reading the rest of this junk. I do agree there is probably a DIRE NEED for sepsis programs in hospitals probably worldwide right now.
There’s also a DIRE NEED for medical personnel to wake the hell up.
18) Willmar officers help save a man's life at the Minnesota State Fair
‘FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — A day at the Minnesota State Fair took a scary turn for a Minneapolis man last weekend, but thanks to the quick action of some local police officers, a dangerous medical emergency ended in a life-saving encounter.
In a Facebook post Wednesday, the Willmar Police Department said two of its officers, Sergeant Samuel Schaefbauer and Officer Timothy Wallace, were credited with helping to save the life of a 71-year-old man who went into cardiac arrest on Aug. 26.
According to the department, the officers were working with the Minnesota State Fair Police Department when a fairgoer flagged them down and said a man had collapsed on the Kidway.
"Within seconds, Schaefbauer and Wallace were on scene," the post said, and the officers took over performing CPR from a good Samaritan until another officer brought an automatic external defibrillator to the scene.
St. Paul Fire medics also helped provide life-saving support before the man was taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment.’
19) Air Ambulance attends ‘medical emergency’ at Magherafelt shopping centre
Source: northernirelandworld.com
‘The drama unfolded shortly after six o'clock this evening when police cars raced to Moneymore Road complex.’
‘The NI Air Ambulance later arrived and landed in the carpark at the front of the building where it remained for about half an hour before taking off.’
And as for the rest of the story, your guess is as good as mine.
