Omg this is so painful to watch! Both of them! We get it! Resuscitative efforts must be done quickly. She asked the same question 5 times!!

It is painful

Bravinder says before they started moving again, they needed to have chest compressions, medications and breathing for him in place.

He says, “The longer the patient goes without resuscitation the lower likelihood they will be resuscitated”

Bravinder says primary goal is circulating blood through chest compressions.

Eldridge asks what happens if there’s a delay and Bravinder responds, “Based on my understanding that’s not good for his outcome.”

Eldridge now asking what happened when they got to the hospital.

Bravinder says when they moved him to hospital bed, “I don’t know what his exact cardiac rhythm was .. but his overall condition did not appear to change”.

Personally I think he's an okay witness... <modsnip> He's done well to answer her annoying way of posing questions. MOO.

ETA: I recon the other paramedic may be more experienced and perhaps a bit better on the stand though so they're planning to put him on after.

 

[UKslueth2018]

Discussing arrival at hospital

“What was his condition at that point in time”

Witness “I don’t know what his cardiac rhythm was but his condition didn’t seem to change”

They probably thought at first they were still restraining him. The initial call was that he had an "injury to his mouth," so they wouldn't have known his true condition.

But didn't this witness testify that the patient appeared to be unresponsive once he got close to the scene?

 

[UKslueth2018]

Was there a report completed

Witness “yes, one would have been completed

 

[Inthedetails]

Personally I think he's an okay witness... <modsnip> He's done well to answer her annoying way of posing questions. MOO.

I think he's okay too, but could be stronger with better questioning. She didn't do a good job of telling the narrative through his testimony.

Eldridge asks “At any point did he generate a pulse, come to, be revived?”

Bravinder says no.

Asking about levels of resuscitation

How many years total as a paramedic

Witness “started in 2013”

 

[UKslueth2018]

Have you arrived on scene and noticed officers on top of a person before

Witness “yes”

Objection didn’t hear whether it was overruled or sustained!

 

[UKslueth2018]

Police will frequently go to scene before paramedic to control scene

Witness “yes”

Have you been to overdose calls before

Witness “yes”

Have police responded first

Witness yes

Question about violence - objection overfilled

“have personally seen violence after a drug overdose”

Witness “yes”

Overruled.

They need to counter question with "have you ever arrived on the scene and noticed officers on top of someone who had no pulse before?"

Paramedic stumbled there when asked by EN if he first stated GF was on his left side.

Why does Nelson keep referring to the call as an "overdose call?" I thought it was a non emergency code 2 call initially? The second call was a code 3 (life threatening situation) because he wasn't responsive, right?

They need to counter question with "have you ever arrived on the scene and noticed officers on top of someone who had no pulse before?"

I wonder if they will ask his colleague (who checked for a pulse) whether he found it strange that the officer remained on top of GF's neck whilst he was looking for a pulse...
