Actually I think they do it for everyone. They certainly did for my sister.
They did it for my sister.She went into cardiac arrest.Just fell over dead.The rescue squad came 20 minutes later and worked on her for another 20 then got her breathing and took her to the hospital.She was brain dead.
No, I can tell you that even the bum on the street gets the same revival efforts.
We’re not talking about on-going health care. I agree, that’s different... our legislators have their own special plan, and of course, the King of Kings, the new, remodeled, divine executive, is probably going to be frozen for future regeneration.
But with emergency care, Gandolfini got what anybody with a chance of life would have gotten. I doubt that they even knew who he was.
That’s sad. How hard for that boy to go through that, and end up with his Dad dead.
It’s going to be years for him.
Your another who thinks celebrities and the superwealthy are afford the same exact level of medical effort, care and treatment as everyone else?
lol...
Your trip back down to reality will probably take some time.
They also did it for my father who was 78 at the time. The paramedic told me they did everything they could but could not revive. They worked on him from his friend’s house where he fell asleep from the house to the ER room they worked on him even in the ER room but my father unfortunately did not come back. So yes they also do that for non-celebrity.
I live in reality. I’m not sure about where you live. From your statements it seems a very bitter and resentful place.
I have to agree. He’s well known in the US, but I bet the Italians didn’t know who he was either. Unless you’re some internationally famous star, which I’d be surprised if JG is, they probably just thought he was a wealthy American tourist.
Ha!!
Well at least in California celebrities and superwealty get the same treatment as the bum on the street because emergency workers can’t tell them apart when the celebs are on a drug alcohol binge.
Your another who thinks celebrities and the superwealthy are afford the same exact level of medical effort, care and treatment as everyone else?
You actually believe this?
Yes or no?
Doctor” Take THAT for what you did to Big Pussy”
Could we not wax so eloquent about an average actor who was given the role of his lifetime and then had the “how can I get idolized” strategy to die young?
If Howard Winkler had died after the first 5 seasons of Happy Days we would be talking about him in the same breathless tones as Gandolfini and James Dean.
The best line about actors came surprisingly during a scene in the movie “My Favorite Year” when two neighbors speaking about Peter O’Toole hanging down below their balcony exclaim
” I believe that Alan Swann is beneath us”
“Of course he is beneath us “ claims the neighbor “he is an actor”
I wonder if he was under a physician’s care including medication for a heart or cardiovascular condition. With deference to obamacare, cardiology these days has really prolonged a lot of lives.
When my stepdad died from his heart attack in 1984, the emergency responders worked for more than a half-hour on him at the house and continued to do so while transporting him to the hospital. He didn’t make it, but those paramedics worked their asses off trying to save him.
I don’t buy the idea celebrities get better treatment just because of who they are.
OK, so you’re another who beleives celebrities, politicians and the super-wealthy are afforded the same exact level of medical effort, care and treatment as everyone else!
Go it!
The problem is, you don’t understand what is normal for a code blue. I worked in a US hospital for five years in an ER. There are a number of paramedics in the family. And the area I worked had many “Joe Jackballs”.
Forty minutes absolutely IS NOT going over and above the call of duty in a code blue situation.
In short, your assumption that Gandolfini got some kind of “super special” treatment here because he’s a celebrity is bunkum.
Did I say that? No. So let’s keep it within the context of the discussion, shall we?
Dragnet’s completely wrong. Seems to have decided to shoot off his mouth before doing any research about codes blue or even *thinking* about what he was typing.
To be clear, my use of the word “treatment” was intended within the context of emergency treatment.
