http://www.wlwt.com/article/middletown-considers-3-strike-policy-on-responding-to-overdoses/10215284
Emergency services don't go to people based on how you feel about them. Emergency services go to people who need emergency medical help. Asking dispatchers to hang up while people OD is condemning them to die.

Ah, an edited copy paste job by TC
Let's fill in the gaps, why not? “We are faced with stress on our services, particularly the EMS services where we can do six to eight opioid overdose runs a day,” said Paul Lolli, fire chief of Middletown. Hmm... Also last year, the department spent more than $11,000 on Narcan. This year, $30,000 has been spent on it. This is a result of more overdoses and the increasing strength of the drugs addicts are using, officials said. Huh, what factual information left out! BUT THE BEST PART IS HERE: "If the dispatcher determines that the person who's overdosed is someone who's been part of the program for two previous overdoses and has not completed the community service and has not cooperated in the program, then we wouldn't dispatch,” said Dan Picard, Middletown city council member. TC, please, f*** off trying to troll when I'm here. It doesn't work. |

Basically a 3 strikes concept. Honestly, yeah, I'm all for people that after ODing on drugs once to go forth and do it again and again being subject to Darwinism.

This topic is the most CE to ever CE.
Not wanting to help people who use drugs does nothing to help anyone.
^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

So let's apply this to everything. 3 seizures and you're left in the street. 3 car accidents and you bleed out on the side of the road. 3 hiking accidents and you gotta fix your own broken ankle on the trail. Because emergency services should be more concerned with what you're doing than providing emergency medical help that you need!

Ah, an edited copy paste job by TC 1. And? It's obvious this is due to rising costs and stress on emergency services. Doesn't make it right (or legal) to leave people to die. 2. The tc did post the bolded part.

But bait topic aside: as someone that is considered an alcoholic by doctors (based on the amount I drink when I do drink): f*** people who get addicted.
Either power through the part where you stop drinking or go f*** yourself. I stopped drinking for several months in order to get liver damage checked and I was fine afterwards. You don't get to say "I'm addicted". You get to say "I'm addicted and need help". |

I honestly don't have a great deal of sympathy for someone that ODs, but if they're asking for help, f***ing send help. It doesn't matter that they did it to themselves, if they're asking for help, send it! If they end up dying, oh well, but everything reasonable should be done to help someone that is asking for it.

Kids shouldn't be growing up without parents because a politician decided 911 didn't have to serve everyone. Man, if I get drunk, wind up in hospital with my stomach pumped because I'm drinking too much and have to make a return visit then no, I don't deserve their help. Hell, I've said this multiple f***ing times on CE: I would rather I be left to die on a cold street. People who start abusing wokers in government services don't get the help until they've sorted themselves out and get to talk in a reasonable and calm manner. drug addicts don't deserve help until they stop f***ing abusing drugs. How is this so f***ing hard to understand? "The first time nice doctor said if you keep drinking then we're going to have to do scans to see if your liver is failing. We need you to stop drinking for a few months to see how your liver is without alcohol. Otherwise you might end up needing more treatment" What did I do? I stopped f***ing drinking. I still believe if I had of continued drinking during that then I should have been turned away. |

wow brutal just single handedly solved the problems of alcoholics and drug abusers everywhere The ones that deserve help, yup. The one that don't? Eh. I mean, really, how hard is it to understand? you abuse government services, you get removed and cut off. I go down to collect my weekly money to spend on booze and I punch the guy? Yes, I don't deserve that money anymore. I go down and tell the doctor "hey, thanks but I'm going to be back here because f*** you", well, I don't deserve his help. |

Don't get me wrong, this is the same argument I'm using that's been used by certain people on here: if you've never been black then you don't get to talk about black issues.

I don't think you're very much of an alcoholic if you quit cold turkey and cant empathize with other peoples addiction. honestly it feels much, much more like you trying to garner some kind of support for yourself than an actual struggle with addiction. especially this:

It doesn't matter at all. You're saying that people should be denied emergency medical treatment based on how you personally feel about them. What if only 10% recover and help their kids? Does that 10% of kids not deserve parents?Support local music.

Certainly not, but it's definitely the most efficient route. I'm not advocating to kill all addicts, but I certainly don't give a f*** if they die because they od, that is simply a consequence of the life they chose.Smash DS Code: 4554-0120-5368 SB4 Name: Roz

as i said above, that's fine...i think its a s***ty mentality but do you....but why are you ok with emergency services selectively choosing who they help? You're ok with paramedics screening who they help? "wait, that house? We just went there 3 months ago for an OD....its another OD? f*** that turn back, we're not helping them"....how it happened should be irrelevant. Someone needs help. they call 911. paramedics should go help them. Period.I wouldn't say I am ok with it, I definitely have my concerns with such a policy. To much room for error or mistakes and innocent people dying because of it.
