...Mellen sat in front. (click here) About a mile into the trip, Dalton got a phone call, and when he hung up, he began driving erratically, blowing through stop signs and sideswiping cars, Mellen said.
"We were driving through medians, driving through the lawn, speeding along, and when we came to a stop, I jumped out of the car and ran away," Mellen said. He said he called police and that when he got to his friend's house, his fiancée posted a warning to friends on Facebook.
Mellen said he also tried warning the ride-hailing service.
"I'm upset because I tried contacting Uber after I had talked to the police, saying that we needed to get this guy off the road," Mellen said....
What is the report about a victim who was actually alive as discovered by a family member; but; the medical staff was preparing her for surgery.
I want an investigation!
The victim had a heart beat. Why was she considered brain dead? No nurse or doctor did neuro checks that ask the victim to squeeze their hand, or in the case of severe head, neck trauma, squeeze the hand to see if they squeeze back? How hard did the staff try to arouse cognition? This needs a complete review.
She squeezed her sister's hand. She was in there. Why didn't anyone else notice it?
What was the staffing like that day?
Who wasn't listening to who? Was there any staff member that had a response but it was suppressed by another authority. I don't care if it was a nursing assistant or a unit secretary. Who was making decisions that caused an emergency room staff to prepare a victim for transplants while still viable?
There should be no piece of paper or driver's license that preempts viability!
There is only ONE WAY of determining brain death and that is after three successive EEGs that PROVE there is absolutely NO BRAIN ACTIVITY! This is one of the reasons I absolutely hate Living Wills when it comes to Emergency Rooms.
I already know Brain Death has to be legislated and defined as three flag EEG's over three consecutive days even with a living will !!!!!!!!!!!!!
