Re: The Long Job
by ReallyEvilCanine
I understand the resuscitation attempt and the wife was happy that you both made an attempt and got him back. But once you had him inside the wagon why did you keep resuscing him? The wife had originally accepted his death, you gave her a good feeling getting some response, but if he'd died in transport she would've understood and thanked you for your efforts and he wouldn't be a good PVS candidate. I'm not saying you did the wrong thing; I'm a pragmatic armchair quarterback these days. I'm just curious about the decisions and what motivates them. Do you make them based on a prescribed protocol (i.e., If you've had a pulse and lose it, you continue to try to keep it for 20 minutes) or on gut feeling ("I'm bloody well not ready to let this one go") or some combination?
