At this point, I'm becoming slightly numb to the ignorance of the media, and general public who criticise the health care system. In my anthro, socio, and psych class, we were discussing the health care system, and some girl wouldn't stop complaining about it. She went on and on about how she had to wait hours in the ER to get treatment. Turns out she was just going there for a cold :glare:. Really does get annoying though, when people try to criticise things they don't know much about. I'm not faulting them for not knowing everything there is to know about something theyre only remotely interested in, but for the fact that they feel they can complain about the system when they'd fail miserably attempting it themselves. That being said, I get really annoyed during the majority of movies and TV shows when they do anything grossly wrong. I mean, I don't expect them to get
everything perfect, but it wouldnt kill them to have someone advise them on making their show a bit more realistic. They spend millions on special effects, but then the realisticness goes out the window when they make such gross errors.

phew, sorry about that rant, guess I got a bit off-topic. I'm running on caffeine and an hour of sleep (looks like I'm suited for the EMT lifestyle already
).
From a slightly more rational point of view, I'm guessing that with cardiac arrests caused by head trauma like that, the chances of relapsing to an arrhythmia would be quite high, because of the nature of it. The article could have been written a lot worse though, I've seen some articles that stop just short of standing up and pointing their fingers at the ambulances.
