Re: 17-Year-Old Shot And Killed In Upper Manhattan
It's OK, let them kill each other, then there will be less of them overall.

Re: 17-Year-Old Shot And Killed In Upper Manhattan
The priority would be compressions. If blood doesn't circulate to the brain, damage can occur in a few minutes. Since there are more people on the scene someone else should control bleeding. The fact that they aren't just speaks to bad scene management. Someone needs to take control and direct people to do things.

Re: 17-Year-Old Shot And Killed In Upper Manhattan
You don't need "witnesses" if you're performing CPR, but you do need some extra hands, for when the person doing compressions inevitably gets tired. About the cops just standing around... They were completely useless! Looks like most of them were more concerned and interested in talking on their radios (all at the same time, mind you!) than attempting to help. Props to that one cop who finally did start CPR, without any gloves on though. You're not wrong. When they're looking him over, before he's rolled over and CPR started, one of the cops appears to be looking at his head (with the flashlight). Maybe she's looking at a head wound? If there was a torso wound, they should have put a chest seal over it. A wound to the extremity should have a tourniquet applied (anymore it's better to err on the side of caution with a tourniquet and go ahead and place it). With a head injury, you're pretty limited to what you can do. You don't want to really dress and bandage a head wound super tightly, as that can eventually lead up to serious amounts of intercranial pressure, if all the bleeding is stopped. There is already going to be LOTS of swelling with any penetrating injury to the head, and if you stop the bleeding, as opposed to controlling the bleeding, you're only going to exacerbate that pressure. With as vascular as the brain is, it wouldn't take long for too much swelling to occur. But, to best answer your question, you do want to stop the bleeding, or at the very least, get it slowed as much as possible. In a volume-depleted system, CPR isn't nearly as effective. |

Re: 17-Year-Old Shot And Killed In Upper Manhattan
A lot of people, both inside and outside of the US seem to have a general misconception that 90% of America is made up of like 4 cities; NY, LA, Chicago, and wherever this week’s hot topic is, when in fact as you point out, the other 99% of the American landscape (not necessarily population, because I can’t be asked to run the numbers) has a vastly different demographic composition and/or culture.
