Then "those people" should be aware of the legal repercussions that come from failing to render assistance and interfering with a corpse.
You're calling in someone who's dying. There is no legal repercussions to doing what I outlined. Period.
As the FAQ currently reads, it says there will be no repercussions regardless of where you are in the world. This is totally false. There are both criminal and civil proceedings than can from from this, in most developed countries in the world.
You are moving a body so the EMT can see it quicker. There is nothing shiesty or shady about this. There is no alternative motive here. You're moving the body so the EMT can get to it. I'm not saying move it to over yonder and beyond, I'm just saying moving it somewhere realistically close for the EMT to see the person quicker. You can so much as move them only to your front porch, if thats as far as you can get them.
The point is don't leave them inside, you need to be able to wave down the EMT if you stay with the body, or have the body recognizable from the street so the EMT knows exactly where to stop.
No harm is reduced by dragging an unconscious person to a street corner rather than rendering basic assistance.
Yes, there is. The EMT sees what's going on much quicker and gets to the person quicker.
Quit saying street corner and twisting words. I understand if you disagree, but you don't need to play the politician card and paint a nasty, untrue picture of what I'm saying. Just talk real man, you don't need to spin it.
This is the NO-SPIN zone dawg.
Okay I don't mean to be condescending but seriously, stop saying street corner like that. I said "well lit, public and safe", which can include a street corner of a certain kind. Not the "street corner" your use of the word implies.
It's very clear in my guide I do not recommend leaving them on just a "street corner" like you're trying to imply I did and paint a nasty picture.
And don't try to make out that clearing an airway and breathing for someone is too complex and difficult for someone to manage.
Bro if you can even manage to say your name when someone has overdosed, I'd be surprised. Obviously you've never been in the situation, but let me tell you, if you can do all this then you must've had military training or something. It's the most fierce, intense, and downright scariest moment I hope you'll never experience.
Yes, it is that difficult. The stress is unreal. Don't pretend you'd play cool buddy, because it's totally different to be in it than to just talk about it. Even I'm full of shit for writing a guide like this, because I don't know if I'd play all that. I do know one thing though - I'd call 911 first thing after having read this guide and understanding this.
It's extremely easy to teach / learn basic first aid that could actually save someone's life.
I don't think you understand - all these techniques, won't save their life. They need professional and chemical assistance. These techniques won't do anything to inhibit the drug or metabolize them. It's not like a piece of food in their throat that you just pop out, or water in their lungs you pump out, or a temporary lapse in breathing.
They're fucking CNS is knocked out. All other instances where such 'basic first aid' procedures are used, do not involve chemicals in their brain that are actively doing a part to shut down the brain.
You can't just do these things and bring an overdose victim to come to. YOU NEED TO CALL 911, you can't just play doctor like this.
You're information could be perceived as an alternative to calling 911, and as so it's dangerous. It also implies that people could just 'easily' do these things and save the person, they can't. They may very well hurt the person unless medically trained.
What you say is 'basic and easy' is not as easy as you say it is. These are not 'easy' procedures - while basic, they often times result in injury. Given that they will do nothing to revert the drug overdose, what is your point?
