Jun 02, 2011 15:43:03 As we saw with the Wal Mart thingy, you're left to follow policy or lose your job. These guys were simply protecting themselves from dismissal.

On a less caustic and more callous note, the guy was trying to kill himself. Stopping him from doing it accomplishes what, exactly?

One more **** out of the gene pool. Whats the big deal?

Imagine a child drowning in the water, and the rescuers not being allowed to save them. There is a flaw in policy that allows innocent and defenseless people to die and just because a bad apple fell through that crack doesn't mean we should ignore it.

Jun 02, 2011 17:27:37 Yeah I read this earlier and was going to post it, but I wasn't sure how to title it, or what sort of commentary to give.

I do think there's some Obvious stuff to be learned here though, stop slashing funding for public workers you dolts. Take it from your own check if you have to, because honestly if it's your ass in a drowning situation, they might not be able to help you.

Nah, don't blame budget cuts. This is standard fare in California. There's a seizure medicine that was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to be used by untrained personnel. In OC for the 2009-10 school year, it was only allowed to be given by the school nurse. Of which there are something like 1 for every 7-8 schools. Again, this is a medication that was DESIGNED for use by untrained people, but the nurses' union (3rd most powerful in CA) lobbied to make it so that only nurses could use it.
