. . . you couldn't be there to shake the hands of these two fine Naval Doctors as they deplaned after a heroic effort to save the life of a fellow human being? Well, I am too so I will just say "Thank You" for your service to your country and your dedication to your calling!

I am a retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer and have had and worked with /by Navy Doctors as have my kids and family. At age 82 i am still kicking[not very high or hard.] I have also been around navy lawyers and most of them had a sense of humor,however their timing for that trait was never an asset,as we can see from the Levin comment.

Not sure Lieutenant if that was meant to be funny or just pathetic. I hope for the Navy's sake your law abilities are more to the point than your postings. Well, at least the Army and Air Force are saved from you; too bad the Marines may have to put up with you.

Levin I believe that these two need to reread what you wrote again. And how did religion get brought into this anyway's along with idol worship. The way I read the article, it was about two Navy Doctors saving a man's life.

Damn good job there Navy Doc's. I'd be proud to once again serve with these fine outstanding Doctors of Navy Medicine.

HMC, USN, RET.

I was quoting "A Few Good Men" you idiots. It was a joke.

You're wrong, and non-Jews are not considered idolaters by ANYONE, including Jews, unless they actually worship idols. Last I checked, Christians had One God, like Jews and Muslims. Are you prepared to claim otherwise, that these three monotheistic religions don't have roots in common?

Besides which, WTF do you come off talking smack about my religion, when I PRAISED these two United States Navy lieutenants FOR BEING HEROES, and I don't care WHAT their religion is or if they even observe one!? If you wanted to quote one gospel or another, would I have come out and slammed your statement?

Your false and hateful statement is a reflection of your sociopathic nature; didn't your mother ever tell you that if you don't have anything intelligent to say, you should STFU?

Actually, xOox is right.

The Bible was never intended for Christians and certainly not for Muslims whom the Jews consider to be "illigitimate children."

You like the Ten Commandments? Try this little thought experiment: Add the phrase "another Jew" to each of the Commandments (there were actually over 600 Commandments, but who's counting). For example, "Thou shalt not kill. . .another Jew." "Thou shalt not covet another Jew's ass (coveting gentile ass is o.k.)." It certainly changes the context, doesn't it? This was the real intent.

You are incorrect, Christians are considered pagans/idol-worshipers in Judaism. This is freely admitted by Judaic religious authorities:

Further instructions for Jewish physicians:

Mishneh Torah » Sefer Zemanim » Shabbos » Chapter Two: Halacha 12

We should not help an idolatress give birth on the Sabbath, even if payment is offered. We do not worry about the possibility of ill-feelings being aroused. [This applies even when] there is no violation [of the Sabbath laws] involved.

Everything I've posted is purely from Judaic websites, you implied something contrary to what actual Judaic authorities say and I feel that I should set the record straight.

And all of this has what to do with two Navy doctors saving someones life? Some people have to talk to hear themselves talk. This had nothing to do with Jews, Gentiles, the Bible, Christians and whatnot. This had to do with two human beings responding to an emergency to help out a fellow human being. Where did you gt side-tracked and why did it seem to upset you to the point all this had to be explained in detail and all these people arguing amongst themselves about who is right and who is wrong, and some of us did not care anyway. But thanks for the entertainment.

Excellent post, Warren. Agreed.

Try not to worry about the troll twins lurking under your bridge here. If you looked like this, you'd be unhappy, too.

Sounds to me like they actually used a Jaw Thrust technique and then used a Oropharyngeal airway.

Isn't the Navy's fault. It was the reporter of this article. I believe they're in their own world, when it comes to reporting. You know them, they can't get anything right in their world.

And yes Moron report we use the head tilt chin lift all the time for people in respiratory distress. Oh! And wait it's not just the doctors that preform this method of life saving. From E1 (Hospitalman) to Captain we all use it. From non medical to medical its a taught lesson. Oh! And lets not forget the boy scouts and girls scout of American that learn these same unconventional tricks.

God reporters can be MORONS.

Actually, compressions come before airway. that was changed a few years ago. It's no longer ABC. it's CAB. I too have worked a few codes.

Glock9 is correct. I just recertified as part of my medical school training and CAB is the new norm because time to initiation of compressions was found to have the strongest correlation to a positive outcome.

I am a Red Cross CPR instructor and if you were not taught the importance of the Airway and Breathing, then you were in a poorly taught class that may not have even been an approved course. 30:2 ratio of compressions to breaths. There is a hands only CPR taught by the RC, but it isn't recommended, and as an instructor, I won't even teach it.

I don't mean to scare you Nick, but it was a re-certification class for healthcare workers. It wasn't RC, it was AHA. ( I know those two groups have been at war over CPR for decades). No worries, I used to be an EMT, but now I only renew my CPR in case I stumble upon a situation where I need the skills.

It's odd, I've seen TV shows where they start CPR without checking airway or giving a rescue breath, and yelled "BS" at the TV. I guess I'm out-dated since I didn't realize they actually did that these days. At least they still recommend you shake and shout and determine consciousness before you start breaking ribs. : )

I took CPR for healthcare workers a couple months ago at my medical school, and they really pushed the CAB sequence and 30:2 that Nick mentioned. Also in line with Nick, they mentioned the Hands-Only technique, but we were taught that it was reserved for non-medical personnel (eg. a circumstance where a healthcare worker would have to describe what to do over the phone or to others in some sort of emergency). It has to do with the fact that an untrained individual can actually do more harm than good messing with the airway because while they are fumbling around deciding "WTF do I do" they aren't circulating any blood via compressions.
