<ul class="summary-list"><li>Two EMS workers are facing a wrongful death lawsuit over strapping a patient facedown on a stretcher.</li><li>Peter Cadigan and Peggy Finley were sued Thursday by the family of Earl Moore Jr.</li></ul>Two EMS workers <a href="https://www.insider.com/illinois-paramedics-charged-murder-patient-death-strapped-facedown-2023-1">charged with first-degree murder</a> in the death of a patient they strapped facedown to a stretcher are now also facing a wrongful death lawsuit from the patient's family, attorneys announced at a press conference Thursday.Peter Cadigan, 50, and Peggy Finley, 44, are accused of killing Earl Moore Jr., a 35-year-old patient who called 911 for help on December 18, 2022.Moore's mother, Rosena Washington, sued the two emergency responders in Illinois state court. Washington told reporters on Thursday she wanted Cadigan and Finley to be held accountable for her son's death. "He needed emergency medical attention. Instead, these workers treated him like he wasn't even human. They tied him down like some kind of animal," she said. "They killed him. My baby suffocated because of their actions and their inaction."<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X4Pz9Msgk0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Body camera footage</a> from the Springfield police officers at the scene showed the EMS workers treating Moore with apparent disdain and indifference throughout their interaction with him. First, Finely refused to help Moore to the stretcher waiting outside his home, then Cadigan helped position Moore facedown on the stretcher before strapping him in.Finley could also be heard in the footage making rude comments to Moore throughout the incident and threatening to leave him behind if he didn't walk out to the stretcher on his own. Moore, who was incoherent and in visible discomfort, was seen throughout the footage writhing on his bed and the floor of his bedroom."You're gonna have to walk, because we ain't carrying you," Finley told Moore at one point. "Cause I am seriously not in the mood for this dumb s---."She also ordered Moore to "get up, or you can stay here" at another point. Finley and Cadigan also made no apparent attempts to physically examine Moore or assess his vitals before loading him into the ambulance, according to the footage. An autopsy report listed Moore's cause of death as "compressional and positional asphyxia due to prone facedown restraint on a paramedic transportation cot/stretcher by tightened straps across the back and lower body, in the setting of lethargy and underlying chronic alcoholism."The civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Moore's family, said Cadigan and Finley's actions that night were inexcusable. "These healthcare professionals, they knew better. And if they know better, they should do better. But I guess they said Earl didn't matter," Crump told reporters at the press conference. "Well, Earl matters, Black lives matter, and we're going to make sure they're never going to be able to forget the name Earl Moore Jr."An attorney representing Cadigan did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, nor did a representative of LifeStar EMS.Finley and Cadigan made their first court appearances in connection to their first-degree murder charges on Thursday morning. They will appear again for a preliminary hearing on Friday.Finley's attorney, W. Scott Hanken, told Insider Finley intends to plead not guilty. Hanken said he believes the claims his client are better handled in civil rather than criminal court."To try to turn this into a criminal matter is something I cannot comprehend," Hanken told Insider. "And I've been doing this for a while."

The Illinois EMS workers facing murder charges are now being sued by the family of the patient who was strapped face down on a stretcher

Narrator: What happens when you call 911 with suspicions of having the coronavirus? We spoke with a paramedic working in New York's Westchester County to find out what happens after you make that call for medical assistance.Hanan Cohen: First of all, we would get information from our 911 dispatcher.Narrator: Hanan Cohen is the director of corporate development and community paramedicine for Empress EMS, a partner of PatientCare EMS Solutions.Cohen: Quite frankly, at this point of time in our region, we suspect that everybody is either suspicious or positive, just because of the large volume of patients.Narrator: When a dispatcher receives a call that might be COVID-19, they'll ask questions, such as if the patient has a fever or shortness of breath and if they've potentially been exposed to someone known with COVID-19. Cohen: Essentially all 911 dispatch centers are screening patients to see if they have any potential of being COVID suspicious or COVID positive.Narrator: The information gathered in the call will be relayed to the responding crew, so they enter the scene with a heightened sense of awareness.Cohen: As soon as we arrive on scene, we're doing what we kind of refer to as a doorway assessment. We're staying about, keeping our six feet of space between us and the patient, as long as their condition warrants it. Certainly if they're unstable, that does not exist, and we immediately begin treating the patient. But we approach the scene wearing PPE based on our dispatch protocol. The higher level for the higher level of concern. So if this was a potential COVID patient, we'd be wearing an N95 mask, we'd be wearing eye protection.As we approached, and from six feet away, we repeat the same, similar questions that dispatch had. Along with us wearing a mask all the time while at work is, on every patient, once we do that six-foot screening, we put a surgical mask on them for everybody's protection. We'd ask them, of those top three or four symptoms, do you have fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or a loss of appetite? Have you been tested? Are you now or have you been in close contact with anybody who was suspected or confirmed?Narrator: If the patient is stable, the crew will start their history and physical-exam portion.Cohen: And that would be asking them for all of the standard symptoms again. Fever, shortness of breath, cough, have you had chills, aches or pains, any chest pain? Now we ask about pink eye. Pink eye is popping up on some radars as being a precursor to a rather, you know, nasty case of COVID-19. Loss of smell, GI symptoms. The list has been growing over the past few weeks, so we're expanding that list as we go, as it's verified by, you know, the CDC or other appropriate resources.Narrator: Simultaneously, the <keyword id="6421374" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Paramedics">paramedics</keyword> are checking the patient's overall condition, looking at their airway, breathing, and circulation.Cohen: If they're answering us in full, complete sentences without distress, we have a good idea that they're in a certain level of stability. If they're having to look for words or they're pursing their lips or if they're only able to speak in short, abbreviated words, we know that they're having a work of breathing, we know there's a level of respiratory distress we have to be concerned about and we're gonna have to address.And at the same time, we're assessing their level of consciousness, how alert they are, how cognizant they are of their surroundings. Are they oriented to the date and the time and the place? Can they answer our questions correctly? So while we're answering those first screening questions, we're assessing multiple parts of a person's neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular status, all at the same time, without ever having touched the patient. So that's a really quick first 15 to 20 seconds.Narrator: If the responders are confident they don't have to intervene with life-support procedures, they continue with more in-depth questioning.Cohen: Whatever their symptoms are, we'll try to ascertain when it started, how long it's been going on, did anything predispose it, and does anything make those symptoms better or worse? Those are all valuable, you know, assessment tools.Narrator: On crews with more than one person, a partner will start to take the patient's vital signs, such as temperature, pulse, and respiration. And then the head-to-toe examination continues. The head, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all get examined.Cohen: If the patient is of a certain age or is having any chest discomfort, shortness of breath, at some point in time, when appropriate, we're gonna put them on a cardiac monitor. We're gonna take a look and see their EKG. Just to have a better understanding at what level of time may we be able to intervene, or maybe we'd not have to intervene and just give the person a safe, comfortable ride to the hospital, or, under the current protocols, have them stay at home, monitor their symptoms, and reach out to their own healthcare practitioner for further advice should the symptoms be deemed mild enough.We certainly look at all of their past medical histories, their meds, their allergies, their mood, their level of anxiety, and try to address any of those that we can, so as we get to the end of the exam, we can come up with a better overall picture of the patient and their stability and their true overall needs within the healthcare system.Narrator: The responders will assess the patient's age, past medical history, and vital signs to then make the next decision. Cohen: Is it an urgent transport, is it a nonurgent transport, is it a treatment place at home, or, with some of our patients, is it the potential of a telehealth visit with a physician to see if they can do something to maintain the person in the home in a safe environment? We look to see are under 65 years of age as a starting point. We look to see if their temperature, is it greater or less than 100.4? Respirations greater or less than 22? Pulse oximeter of less than 95%. A heart rate that we'd consider fast, over 110. A blood pressure that would be considered on the low side of less than 100, and any possible neurological changes. And if any of those are triggered, then it's an automatic follow our normal protocols and transport to the hospital.Narrator: If patients are not exhibiting these symptoms or don't have obvious risk... Cohen: Then we can go and delve further into their history as far as any other chronic diseases, and if they don't have a major secondary condition other than the fact that they may have an influenza-like illness that shortens the breath, febrile illness, then they can be considered for the treat-and-remain-at-home protocol. Then we can tell the patient that New York state has an existing protocol right now where, with their current condition, their current presentation, it's our opinion that they are better maintained at the home.The hospitals are bursting at the seams, they're overwhelmed with high-priority patients, and if at this point in time you are not positive, you will be basically presented in an environment where multiple people around you may be. So it could actually be deleterious to your health as opposed to an improvement of your health. Patients have the right to say, "Absolutely not, I want to go to the hospital." Patients always have that right, and we respect that right. Under this protocol we would speak with a physician at a hospital and just let them know that we're coming, this patient is declining to stay at home. He or she may wish to speak to the patient further and try to convince them that it's the more appropriate pathway at this time, but we'll always take a person if their decision is they need to go.Narrator: If the patient chooses to stay home...Cohen: We'll give them an informational handout from the Department of Health that explains what they should do next. They should take a fever-reducing drug, they should make sure they're drinking OK, if they have any further concerns, to reach out to their own healthcare practitioner, and if at any time they feel their condition has changed or is getting worse, dial 911 immediately, and a response will be there in a matter of minutes. One additional thing we've started here, every following day, we have one or two of our community paramedics pull all the patients who were left at home under that protocol, and we call them to see how they're doing.Narrator: Oftentimes the first responders are putting themselves at risk on the job. Hanan was COVID-19 positive himself.Cohen: We've been a combination of lucky and well prepared and well trained. Of our 600, I'm one of 30 that have tested positive. Of the 30, 14 have already returned to work. Of those that are out, only one has had a brief hospitalization. The rest are going through the home quarantine, taking the medication. We check with them every day, we follow up with them, we give them support, and when they're ready to come back, you know, there's a seat, an ambulance, and a uniform waiting for them. And, quite frankly, most of them can't wait to get back. We're not very comfortable sitting at home.Read the original article on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-happens-after-you-call-911-coronavirus-covid-2020-4">Business Insider</a>

What happens after you call 911 for the coronavirus

<ul class="summary-list"><li>There are many arguments about which city in Texas has the best Tex-Mex.</li><li>I'm a proud local that knows it comes from <keyword id="12062287" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="san-antonio" source="Orion">San Antonio</keyword>. Here's where to find it, plus much more. </li></ul>There are endless arguments about which city in Texas has the best Tex-Mex. I am one of the proud locals to claim that the best of the best comes from San Antonio, where excellent barbacoa, puffy tacos, and Micheladas can be found on almost every corner. Although the origin stories of Tex-Mex vary, I believe that San Antonio was the <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/bloody-san-antonio-origins-chili-con-carne/#:~:text=Chili%20con%20carne%20was%20introduced,as%20early%20as%20the%201860s" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">true birthplace</a>. As early as the 1860s, Mexican women served chili and tamales in open-air food stalls around downtown. And although they were eventually forced out due to the city's health codes, the "<a href="https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4107830" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">Chili Queens</a>" legacy continues today thanks to restaurants that have passed down recipes for generations and treat customers like familia, making for a very special dining experience.With such a great history of Tex-Mex, I've made it a mission to eat my way through my hometown, and the following represents my personal list of favorite Texas Mexican joints, along with the bars and restaurants I recommend the most to visiting family and friends looking to taste the best of Texas. The best Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in San Antonio<div type="image" title="The inside of a restaurant with colorful decorations hanging from the ceiling." height="2249" width="3000" msid="89573689" hostid="261"></div>Mi Tierra CaféLocated in the Historic Market Square (sometimes called El Mercado), <a href="https://www.mitierracafe.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">Mi Tierra Café</a> is open 24 hours and is known for its traditional Tex-Mex dishes, lively decorations, and killer conchas (Mexican sweet bread).I recommend trying Menudo, a sharply seasoned soup typically served over the weekend for breakfast that is best enjoyed with a generous serving of lime juice and raw onions. <div type="image" title="A street view of a lit up restaurant at night." height="2249" width="3000" msid="89573690" hostid="261"></div>Rosario'sFor a traditional Mexican meal, <a href="https://rosariossa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">Rosario's</a> delivers with dishes like pollo con mole, or chicken with mole, a dish typically made using over 20 ingredients, including nuts, dried fruits, and spices.Don't forget to add a healthy serving of my favorite salsa, a red, charred, and spicy mixture.
