UK medic survives after 25 shocks

http://www.ems1.com/ems-products/cpr-resuscitation/articles/26471048-UK-paramedic-survives-cardiac-arrest-after-25-shocks

65 year old medic - witnessed arrest outside - fast CPR - 5 shocks on scene and in ambulance - 20 shocks at hospital - is OK now

500,000 could be saved in USA annually

Years of Life Lost in USA

https://sites.google.com/site/usapublicsafety/home/misc/2010-years-of-life-lost

Nothing much changed from 2010 to 2013 - the top 4 killers in the USA
(in terms of Years Of Life Lost) are - cancer - heart disease -
unintentional injury - suicide (intentional injury you might say)

the breakdown is -
cancer 23%
heart 15%
trauma `13%
suicide 5%
childbirth & infancy 3%
chronic low respiratory 3%
diabetes 2%
stroke 2%
homicide 2%
liver disease 2%
misc 24%

We know that of 400,000 out of hospital sudden cardiac arrests each
year - only 6% survive. Of 200,000 in hospital cardiac arrest - 24%
survive. IIRC my earlier research showed that 40% of inhospital
cardiac arrests can be saved if shocked within 1 or 2 minutes. 80% of
arrests occur at home and 50% of those are witnessed. Per
http://www.ems1.com/ems-products/cpr-resuscitation/articles/2255015-Report-U-S-out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest-survival-rates-unacceptably-low

What does this add up to?

1. If more people paid attention to their health, death rates would
probably drop in half. (just a wild ass guess on my part)
2. If every cop had an AED and trauma kit, probably 500,000 lives per
year could be saved.

Lets be outrageous!

Who killed more people - Hitler or Obama?

Honestly gotta say that I think it is a very close call.

Logically - in this situation - why would anyone believe the police investigators? Have they put all of the case files on the Internet?

Big article about police chases

http://www.usatoday.com/longform/news/2015/07/30/police-pursuits-fatal-injuries/30187827/
1 person dies every day in a police chase in the USA

civilians are 100 times more likely to die in a chase than a cop

I wonder how many serious criminals are ever caught

20% of perps are in stolen cars - 20% are drunk - 20% have expired licenses - approx numbers

The real question is - How can this be handled better?

'Liberals heads are currently exploding trying to figure out how to spin this... Black man with another black man as a slave, trying to rob two former reporters of a liberal news network that both have CCL's.

Real life is  funnier than fiction.'
