The neighbor said emergency responders worked quickly – but they did not seem panicked.
“In a situation where perhaps time is of the essence, there seems to be a little bit more urgency, but there was no urgency here,” the neighbor told CNN.
When the emergency vehicles left the street, the neighbor said their sirens were not on.
DOA
One of the rare times breaking HIPAA would be worth it. Anyone there, anyone, break it, break it wide open. Think about it, doae this monster diserve privacy? He is a public official. He does not get the right to privacy. People will protect you and support you. do it.
Moscow Mitch is possibly the man who did more damage to our country than anyone else. The Trump administration is his victory, just with someone he couldn’t control and actually turned his constituency against him.
Trump is an evil SOB and the US is worse for having him as a president… but I’ll at least say one good thing about him, if you poke your head in conservative circles, they have as much respect for the turtle as the left. And I love that for Mitch. May his legacy forever be mired in shit.
As someone who’s not from the US, can u give me a TLDR of what he did?
Abused the Senate traditions to advance his party for decades, culminating in a refusal to see dem nominations to the supreme court and then fast tracking repub nominees resulting in the lopsided court that has accelerated the collapse of equal rights in the usa and the speedy rise of corpofascism
That man is dead unless he gets up in front of his constituents and says otherwise. Maintaining that he is alive to “protect his seat” is criminal and those responsible should be put to the sword.
I want to give him my well wishes personally. Anyone know which hospital he’s staying at? I am bringing flowers.
I mean, a non-hurried loading in a stretcher is also what happens when a case isn’t immediately life-threatening but still requires medical attention
Don’t they usually put people in body bags before loading if they’re already declared dead?
Is this in poor taste? FUCK THAT AND FUCK MITCH MCCONNELL, ROT IN HELL YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
I’m sorry I’ve had a rough day.
I still stand by what I said tho.
Dead and smelly yes dead not alwaysn especially if their county says only docs can pronounce until then they just sorta try their best to do something until they get to the hospital and trade them over.
Ah, if only it was a hearse.
He’s passed on! This Senator is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s kicked the bucket. He’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible.
THIS IS AN EX-SENATOR!
Well we’d better replace him then
Sorry I’ve had a look around and we’re out of senators.
The state should declare him dead and move on.
And yes, haha I get the reference.
No no, he’s resting. Just look at his plumage!!
No his alive to me \s
I mean… thats the only way you get into an ambulance.
They aint gonna fuckin loony toons bar bouncer you into the back of the ambulance from 20 feet away.
In a situation where perhaps time is of the essence, there seems to be a little bit more urgency, but there was no urgency here.
Same reasoning applies with a corpse.
Yes, that’s the entire point here for anyone who may be confused.
I work in 911 dispatch, different areas and agencies may handle things a little differently but where I work we give our incidents a priority from 1-5, with 1 being the highest
For EMS, priority 1 is things like cardiac arrests, shootings, stuff where the person has a very real chance of dying any second.
2 is most of the things you’d expect people to call an ambulance for, they do need to be seen in a hospital for and relatively quickly, but you’re not immediately in danger of expiring.
3 is the stuff that you probably could have called around to a couple friends for a ride or called an Uber or something for or maybe driven yourself to urgent care. Like sure, you probably want to see a doctor about that, but it’s not really that urgent, if you waited until tomorrow you’d probably be no worse off than you are today and in some cases you probably could have slept it off.
4 is basically for psych issues. You’re basically completely physically healthy and stable, you’re just cuckoo for coco puffs. The only way you’re going to die on the ambulance ride over is if it gets T-boned by a semi truck, or you annoy the crew so much that they throw you out the back of the ambulance while doing 70mph down the highway.
Which brings us to class 5. You’re dead. You’re obviously dead and no amount of life-saving measures are going to bring you back. Usually they’re not even going to actually take you away in an ambulance, they’re just going to say someone with medical training can go “yep, that’s a corpse” in case the cops on-scene are even dumber than usual and didn’t see you breathing, they’re going to throw a white sheet over you and let the coroner come around later to scrape you up. Unless you’re Mitch McConnell apparently.
Corpses dont need oxygen masks either.
that’s the implication, yup
You know we’ve gone full 1984 dystopia when the fucking Senate Majority Leader stands there with a straight face and claims he had a conversation with McConnell about national security of all things (as if you’d really expect them to discuss that), and all the reporters just parrot what he said as unquestioned fact. And no one will bat an eye or ever mention his blatant lying, when it comes out that McConnell was dead the whole time.
So they brought a secure phone to the hospital? And made sure nobody in the hospital could hear!
Bullshit.
Do HIPAA protections still exist after the person is dead?
Hey! Cybersecurity professional here who also deals with HIPAA regularly. Two things -
-
Thanks for spelling HIPAA correctly, so many people get it wrong.
-
Yes, HIPAA covers you for 50 years after you die, so you still have the same protections in place as if you were living for that long after you kick the bucket.
So in other words, the GOP will admit Mitch McConnell is dead in 2076.
Mitch for president 2029 😨
I’d take a bloated corpse over the bloated turd we have today.
No, they would not tell the truth.
If they don’t cover you for 50 years after your death then I guess you have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Always go to other people’s funerals; otherwise they won’t go to yours.
now I wonder what interesting person died 50 years ago so I can snoop on their private medical files.
Hungry Hungry HIPPAs
Thanks for spelling HIPAA correctly, so many people get it wrong.
I always confuse what the HIP stands for, but always remember the last two are “Accountability Act” so “AA” at the end is easy to remember.
It’s Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, for others curious.
And yes, that’s a great way to remember it. Especially so because that’s where many typically get it wrong. I see it called HIPPA all the time.
It looks like death certificates have a similar 50 year privacy period in Kentucky.
Are those not public records?
Excuse me but its speled HIPPO smafh
-
TIL HIPAA
People should be in the streets at Kentucky lawmakers homes right now.
This is insanity.
Rot In Piss
Damn maybe next time.
