I screwed up yet again! Norway was allied with Denmark for a long time and the modern Norwegian language is much closer to Danish than Norsk but there is a determined group of Norwegians who are now trying to revive the old Norsk language by performing it at theatres dedicated to this practice, such as Det Norke Teatret in Oslo, where I have visited and we have sound and show control installations. Iceland obviously didn't adopt Danish like the Norwegians did so that's where I got confuzzled ;-) Thanks for all the corrections, folks. Now going to sit in the corner again....

Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 08:04:23 -0500 Message-ID: In-Reply-To: Two points here (US law); First, you only use CPR / Defib on a dead person, not a live person. If you use it and it doesn't work (they stay dead), they are no worse off than before. If you use it and it works, they are alive, and a lot better off. Second, you have to have a legal duty to act before you can be held liable for not acting. A student in your care goes down and the duty to act is clear. A patron goes down, you have no legal duty to act. A coworker goes down, it depends on the state you live in if you have a duty to act or not. If you are a state/county/city worker, you usually have a duty to act within your governments geographic borders 9check your local/state laws). You do not have a legal duty to the general public if you are not a government employee. See a man drownding, can you be sued for not throwing him a lifeline? Its well settled in the courts that without a duty to act, you can't be held liable. Between these two things, it is exceedingly hard to sue a non governemt entity for not using a defib. Quick story to illustrate my point. I worked a straight 48 hours on a 911 truck one very busy weekend. 6 GSW's, 2 stabbings and many other calls that very busy weekend. I then slept in my car for 2 hours in a local park before going home (I wasn't up to the drive without the nap). I woke to sirans in the lot. Turns out I slept through an assault 500 yards away. The elderly lady died. The city was sued because the plaintif claimed I had a duty to act and should have saved his mother. If I was a munisapul employee, they would likely have won. Since I was an employee of a contractor, I didn't have a duty to act while not on duty as an EMT, and the case was dismissed. It didn't matter that I was asleep, or that I had a cell phone and jump kit with me, I didn't have a duty to act. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Santos Director, Simply Circus, Inc.

I don't know the whole story, but the EMT's I work and hang out with would have very MUCH so considered it their duty to act. If you have skills that can save someone, shouldn't you put them to use? Legally or no, there's that little thing about sleeping at night... And I would check very carefully about no one having a duty to act if a patron in their theatre has a medical issue. Their paying for a show, and at least some parts of their comfort and safety are OUR responsibility. One of our TD's here is an EMT, and keeps a bag in the building as a matter of course - something happens, their stable and prepped for the amby to arrive. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 09:20:30 -0800 From: Jerry Durand Subject: Re: Defibrillators, anyone?

Just wondering, if you can be sued for being asleep (and off duty) when an emergency happened, could you also be sued for being on vacation (and off duty) when the emergency occurred? It seems to follow that the implication is you're responsible to be there at the scene, awake and prepared wether or not you're on duty or even in the country.

With the Pascal I used to use, a 'keyboard break' could only be done after an I/O instruction. To catch endless loops I always wrote loop count or variable to the screen, inside the loop, so as to catch this. When I'd got it right, I removed all the spurious commands, and compiled again. Pascal was very good about catching data overflows at compile time. No single variable or array could exceed 64K. Since you always had to declare your variables, this got caught at compile time. For bigger arrays, you had to reference them by pointers.

This raises an interesting question. Just what can you do with an old computer? I am about to replace my set-up: like me, it's old and slow, but still works. But I am very reluctant to bin a prefectly good set of hardware. Thhe only charity I have found would turn up their noses at a Celeron running at 233MHz with 128KB ROM. They want higher specs than that. But, out there somewhere in Africa or India, there must be some school or community that would give their eye teeth for it; hell, they'ld probably grateful for an Amstrad 640. If anyone has information, please let me know privately. I'm in the UK; London to be precise. The hard drive would be a 'tabula rasa' with the dreaded 'Format C' command having been issued from DOS, but all the operating discs and manuals would be there.

You're not lucky on this thread. Play that the other way round. The people from Denmark colonised Iceland back in the 11th Century. Since contact was difficult, the original language survived substantially unchanged: the language of the Sagas. As Iceland was a Danish colony until recent times, I think that most of the population will speak Danish. But the older system of patronymics lives on in personal names. "Sigmundsdottir" and "Haraldssen", for example. It was the same in the US. US customs are sometimes closer to those that the Pilgrim Fathers brought with them than to modern English.

We are talking about a lawyer who advised an establishment that they would be required to have a AED trained person on site any time the site was open to the public, or be subject to civil liability. So the establishment decided to NOT get any AEDs. My claim is that if a person had a heart attack there and died, that there is a good chance the LAWYER would be hauled into civil court and sued. I also suspect that neither the court nor the jury would be sympathetic to the lawyer. Consider. Is a person liable for putting a bandage on another person's finger? After all, most such people have no training in doing so. Properly using a AED is just about as simple. It could be argued that it is even safer, as the devices will NOT fire unless conditions are correct. Bill ------------------------------ From: "Steven Santos" Subject: RE: Defibrillators, anyone?

I was deposed, but I never even made it into a court room. The following varies depending on the locality your in, but generally speaking: As a municipal employee, you are in part on duty any time you are in the jurisdiction, and thus have a duty to act to the extent of your training. Excluding the above, as an employee in a public space, your duty to act is generally limited to calling 911 unless your company policies dictate otherwise, or if in some way you create an additional duty to act (such as an EMT touching the patient). You have a greater legal duty to act when it comes to a student or other person in your care than you do to a patron, co-worker or other person. If I were to place AED's here in Massachusetts, I would have company policies on employees knowing where they are, on testing the AED's, on stocking the AED's, but I would not have a policy on who can and can not use it. I would not even mention AED training in my policies. That way, they are available if needed, but I don't have to staff AED qualified people, and I do not create any additional duty to act.

I could haul you into court because I think the hat you are wearing, your haircut or mustash is a crime against humanity and you must be stopped before you corupt the children! ;) Doesn't mean I have even a shot in hell of winning, but nothing is stopping me from filing such a suit. In the theoretical case we are discussing, the lawyer would be immune under the doctrin of work-product. In a nutshell, this means that you can not win a suit against a lawyer for specific legal advice he gave to his client that adversly effected you. The lawyer has no duty to you as a third party, thus you have no actual basis for filing a complaint againt them. You can sue his client for the damage (assuming you have proper grounds to do so), but not the lawyer for the advice (yes, we have some extreamly limited exceptions to this such as the RICO act, but this isn't law class, so I will let them be). >Consider. Is a person liable for putting a bandage on another person's >finger? After all, most such people have no training in doing so. Yes, they can be. If the person had a duty to act, and didn't act or acted improperly, they could be held lible for it. If they acted without authorization and authority to act, they can be held liable for what they did, as well as for assault. Thats why EMT's have to ask permission before touching a patient (if a person is uncounsous, you have a pink slip, or when you have a child without a legal garduan present you have what is know as implied concent, and that is your authorization to act). >Properly using a AED is just about as simple. It could be argued that >it is even safer, as the devices will NOT fire unless conditions are >correct. The companies that make AED's don't yet agree with you, but it is moving in this direction. A few other quick notes on AED's: - Notify local EMS that you have them onsite. - Check with the local EMS before buying one. Some localities have requierments that you must meet. In Boston for example, you can only install units that are approved by Boston EMS, and your AED training must be done by Boston EMS. - Put a copy of all applicable policies, laws and regulations in the log binder that should be with the unit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Santos Director, Simply Circus, Inc.

My second question is...

If you don't have something like that, you could always try http://www.freecycle.org/ I'm sure they have a group across the pond.

My last two have gone to French charities: surely there is an UK charity which will accept it.

I will be in meetings starting at 8 AM, so I will not be getting e-mail. You may still have time fly to Louisville, and you can work on coming up with some "obnoxious questions" on the plane.

But to bin it is not socially responsible. Do you have a separate computer for your firewall? If not, that computer should be fast enough to manage the task. Having a separate firewall allows better protection than the software firewalls designed for your regular computer. It also frees up the processor etc a bit, so your task run a bit faster.

After the WEEE legislation is adopted in the UK (as it is in most other EU countries now) manufacturers of electronic equipment will by law be required to accept their products back for proper recycling after their useful life is over.
