Subject: Alcor's Response Team and Competence

------=_Part_202042_1469549302.1251371200640




In regard to Robert Newport's recent post, regarding Alcor's response to Russell
Cheney : 




The fact that a handful of Alcor's personnel were polite and unruffled, on the 
telephone, when being awakened at 1:00am, does nothing to prove the competence 
of the Alcor "emergency response " team, (unless you are limitingA "emergency 
response" to handling telephone calls). A Can anyone Alcor would have sent 
perform a good femoral cannulation, in minutes, o r wouldA someone have 
blundered about, for hours, maybe not even beingA capable of finding A the 
femorals, much less proper ly cannulating them? Would a qualified perfusionist 
have shown up, or might the patient have been subjected to unnecessary harm 
caused by the improper use of a perfusion circuit ? These are just two key 
questions, there are many others. 




I recently asked, on Cold Filter, if Alcor currently has standby capability, or 
if they a re currently totally dependent on Suspended Animation, (a company that
has proven itself to be grossly incompetent, in my opinion), for remote cases .
Thus far, there has been no answer to that question. Judging by past comments 
on Cold Filter, Alcor would prefer questions be asked by telephone. Why is that?
So there won't be a written record of the conversation? 




Having spent nearly a decade in operating rooms, as a medical professional, IA 
would advise people to A notA mistake politeness, or a good "bedside manner," 
for competence in performing advanced medical procedures.
