> No. No back to you. :) > The measurements mentioned in the story obviously failed them The measurement didn't "fail" them. It told them the truth, that is that she didn't have electrical activity in her hearth. If they would have seen a different rhythm they would have given her a different treatment. For example if they would have seen one of the shockable rhythms they would have given her the appropriate shock. > so they went with their own judgement instead Instead? From what you say it sounds like there is some rule preventing people from continuing efforts if they see a flat ECG. That is not true. The medical providers didn't use their judgement "instead" of the measurement. They used their judgement factoring in all the things they measured, known, heard, and sensed. (including but not limited to the flat ECG measurement)
