This is really, really weird. I have not, and I can not find, a reputable swedish news source covering this event? Why not? My bs meter is swinging wildly for some reason, this sounds like something that should have been widely reported...

Yep, my BS meter went flying. Mostly b/c key information about how the drone got there so quickly seems convenienly left out. Who called the emergency services (it wasn't the doctor)? Who contacted the service to send the drone? How did the drone get the exact location? Did the man just happen to live very close the where it was dispatched? And the fact that this is a press release should preclude it from being posted until an independent source verifies these details.

Here's an alternative source in Swedish from the magazine Läkartidningen, a magazine by the Swedish Medical Association. https://lakartidningen.se/aktuellt/nyheter/2021/12/akutlakaren-mustafa-forst-att-radda-liv-vid-hjartstopp-med-dronarhjalp/ https://lakartidningen.se/aktuellt/nyheter/2021/12/akutlakar...

  Still not very convincing. I'd expect to find an article in Aftonbladet or similar. Strangely the article in Läkartidningen doesn't say when this incident occurred (just the middle of December). I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that everything written about it reads like promotional material rather than journalism.

    Aftonbladet seems to have had a short story on it. https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/qW7oRO/dronare-levererade-hjartstartare--raddade-liv https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/qW7oRO/dronare-leverera... But I'm a bit surprised that this is not considered bigger news.

It is heresy to acknowledge the problem that has appeared in the last year. Except in Japan.
