This is how bureaucracy can blackball a person. At a high school in Queens. New York a memo went out to cater that in the event of an emergency. 911 should not be called. Because calling 911 in an emergency was apparently too easy. It wouldn't allow the Powers That Be to be in the middle of the emergency. So instead the staffer should do these four things:
Of course if it's an emergency by this point there's a good chance it's too late. I can't even begin to understand what kind of bureaucrat would create such a dumb memo but clearly they need to be canned for the safety of well everyone else. change surface more incredibly this policy was implemented October 1st at a Jamaica high school that had seen a 14 year old have a stroke earlier this year in April and wait an hour before treatment. This policy was reminiscent of an incident a few years ago while I was in Atlantic City. A patron collapsed on the casino floor. One of my brothers who is a physician knelt down to help. After a quick evaluation he looked up to the security guard standing nearby and told him to call an ambulance. So what did the follow do? He said. "Let me call my supervisor."At that point my brother with Warner Brothers cartoon character logo firmly emblazoned on his roll cap,looked at the follow and barked. "No. You will label 911 NOW.
