dr. also worked with martin previously - residents from DC would visit the ER and dr. would have to converse with martin the outcome of ER visit

also treated Michele when she arrived at ER
Michele was suctioned at ER

 

[scorekeeper]

found lividity on butt and back

which may start as soon as 30 minutes after death

dr thinks Michele was deceased before her arrival at ER

saw no cardiac activity whatsoever

 

[Bravo]

Busted again Marty. Must have missed the class on lividity 101.

I think Marty thought everyone would just believe him and what he said, instead, they all saw his "mistakes".

The presence of livor mortis is also an indication of when it would be futile to begin CPR, or when it would be ineffective to continue if it is in progress.

Livor mortis starts twenty minutes to three hours after death and is congealed in the capillaries in four to five hours. Maximum lividity occurs within 6–12 hours.

Livor mortis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the chest should rise with proper breaths during CPR

 

[popsicle]

Ask him about performing CPR while the victim is under-water...pleaseee

 

[scorekeeper]

CPR could possibly be done in a tub, as long as head can be tilted back and airway cleared

 

[scorekeeper]

doc felt Michele's death was unusual
doc contact the medical examiner

 

[scorekeeper]

martin offered doc 10,000 to keep trying to revive Michele
doc thought this was very odd

 

[scorekeeper]

doc had administered TPA
and also given in drip

TPA is used to "break up clots"

worked on Michele about 38 minutes

 

[scorekeeper]

doc says that Michele was given
glucose by the paramedics
she was give test upon arrival at ER
level was over 600 - normal readings around 80-100 or so

 

[scorekeeper]

doc drew blood for test
so that medical examiner would have result

 

[scorekeeper]

doc believes Michele was dead before she arrived at hospital at 1225

no rigor

but did notice the lividity

 

[scorekeeper]

no jury questions

next
