more on EMT/Accidental Death chat:

People who are legally allowed to pronounce death, at least in my state (don't know if it varies state-by-state, a lot of these type of regulations do), are limited to Physicians (MD and DO) and Hospice RNs only. EMTs here aren't allowed to do so, so they have what they call Paramedic Base Doctors that they call to pronounce for them. Doctors tend to rotate positions all over the place (teaching hospitals, hospices, private practice, etc) and so PBDs are basically just there to be available to EMTs in the event they're needed to go "yep, call it".

Only a physician is allowed to sign off on a Death Certificate, though, and finding THAT guy can be like pulling teeth for us poor schmucks that work in funeral homes. There's a guy that works in my office and tracking doctors down wherever the hell they might be that day of the week to fax them the paperwork so they can sign it and get it back to State Vital Records so we can get the family their Death Certificates sometime before the heat death of the universe is his actual full-time job. We're a larger funeral home too, so we're usually juggling 25 services at a time, or thereabouts. Smaller mom-and-pop funeral homes usually have all that stuff handled directly by the funeral directors themselves.

anyway that's all to say that we don't really get many OSHA deaths, most of the accidents we handle are like, car accidents or one dude that crashed his snowmobile into a tree, that was pretty gnarly. Worst one was by far the 20-something dude who got mixed up in some kinda gang poo poo they found after a few months in Lake Michigan. His mom had to ID him by photos of what was left of his tattoos. Rough stuff.

Please start an ask/tell thread. What school did you go to? I am close to Johnny Guption in Nashville.

Decapitation is a separate category from 'injury not compatible with life'. Is this because for Category F you have to check if they're breathing and that's difficult if you can't find their head?

Internal decapitation refers to when the vertebrae clearly break, usually at the base of the skull. It's why the advice of "do not move the body" is part of first aid.

The softer parts of the neck really suck at not preventing the shearing of the spinal nerve. Also that super cool action movie neck snap? internal decapitation, of sorts.

I mean chickens can live for months without heads and I’ve met people that don’t seem to be using more brainpower than a chicken.

That rooster that survived 18 months "without a head" was missing the front half of its skull, its brain was in the part still attached.

I thought it was more that the part of the chickens brainstem that kept it doing life-y things was a bit further down in it's neck and they didn't chop off the important part of it's brain.

That sounds like a best case scenario. The most recent one I (didn't) hear about was pretty rough to the point that the EMT called back again later after everything had spun down in order to "debrief" even though that isn't really a thing, I guess it was some young kid and maybe her dad, obviously I have no specifics to provide but it was a traumatic mess and shitted up everyone's week real good and thorough.
I work in search and rescue, and with us at least, doing a debrief after a rough call is absolutely a thing. We have a critical incident stress management peer team that comes in to have a talk with us, explaining what kind of response we might have to a traumatic incident, and giving us time and space to talk about what we had just gone through. I've received phone calls a few days after the debrief, where the team member is just checking in to see how I'm feeling.
It's a nice change from the old system of just prescribing tryactin. "Looks like you could use a tryactin: Try actin' like a man"

I tried wiki searching tryactin and I'm sad it's not a real drug

Oh, for sure, that's good and should absolutely be normal. This was more just "two coworkers commiserating over an ugly situation and calling it a debriefing so they feel comfortable talking it out." There's a bit of "wow, that was bad" and some mutual "we did the right thing" and so on. And it's not out of line, it just sucks that anyone has to deal with it. A team dedicated to providing and supporting that sort of conversation would be amazing, but I suspect it's less common outside of groups that are way more likely to find ugly situations like S&R is. Could be the EMTs have that baked into their system, I couldn't say. The ER physicians might, but that would certainly depend on the specific hospital and I've never heard about it there, dealing with that stuff just seems to be "part of the job."
