- buildbot 3y agoYeah I was taught effectively this long ago in scouts too.
- AussieWog93 3y agoFor anyone else wondering, "ED" in this instance refers to "Emergency Department". Not sure how effective cold water immersion would be at treating the other kind of ED...
- hombre_fatal 3y agoIt also means eating disorders.

- simcop2387 3y agoThe other commenter was insinuating a different ED than Emergency Department and Eating Disorder in their next statement. One that a little blue pill may help with.
- cperciva 3y agoIt already stands for Executive Director and Early Death. It's possible that the ED of an ED had an ED which led to him suffering from ED and ultimately having an ED.

- kcplate 3y ago> Not sure how effective cold water immersion would be at treating the other kind of ED Back in the day we used to refer to that particular reaction as “beach dick”
- closewith 3y agoThe specific use of body bags/cadaver pouches for this purpose is also an old policy (since at least 2005 based on my experience) in marine SAR, so I echo your wife's sentiments.
- keane 3y agoI imagine some of the importance of documenting ED techniques like this is because in the prehospital setting many of the interventions that nonphysicians are allowed to provide are governed by standing protocols. For regional medical directors to endorse such interventions by third-parties, they require the techniques be well-documented before they are formally adopted.
- llimllib 3y agoYes, I don’t think it’s valueless to report it, but she found its “novelty” to be very low
