But, They Caught It On The First Bounce

From the media coverage, you’d think that the heart had bounced out of the cooler and was flopping around on the sidewalk. The organ was triple wrapped in plastic and protected from the elements. It’s embarrassing to the “medics” involved, but neither the heart nor the recipient suffered any injury. Both are together and doing fine.

Mrs. TOTWTYTR wanted to know if the five second rule applied, but I told her I didn’t think so.

Oh, and I don’t know that the people doing the transfer were “medics” doctors, nurses, or UPS guys. Chances are that the media doesn’t know either. Which is typical of the laziness that passes for journalism these days.

I'm a retired paramedic who formerly worked in a largish city in the Northeast corner of the U.S. In my post EMS life I provide Quality Improvement instruction and consulting under contract. I haven't really retired, I just don't work nights, holidays, or weekends.  I escaped the Northeast a couple of years ago and now live in Texas.  I'm more than just a little opinionated, but that comes with having been around the block more than once. You can email me at EMSArtifact@gmail.com After living most of my life (so far) in the northeast my lovely wife and I have moved to central Texas because we weren't comfortable in the northeast any longer. Life is full of twists and turns.
