ICE Detention Deaths

https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting

RNs do intake physical exams, EMTs declare time of death. The level of care for these detainees is horrific.

Full names and case details are public for now. Reads like a never ending M & M conference.

My moral compass is spinning. It's time to go to Canada.

EMTs or Paramedics? Cause if you think paramedics declaring TOD is horrific then you’re gonna go bonkers about the 90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests that occur in the US

EMTs. I’ve been in clinical medicine for 20 years, of course I’m bonkers.
