    Healt

    good luck in your quest.

    howevet that is NOT what you said at first. And is NOT what you said when challenged initally:

    From the OP “how do you treat a patient from a 1 car accident? “

    Note: as opposed to a 2 car accident, and you imply this is currently the standard. You were clearly not asking what should the new protocol be according to my chidush that I have no data for

    “It’s a question to refresh people’s memories – how do you treat a patient from a 1 car accident?”

    Same implication but stronger. how cna you refresh memoried about your own chidush that you havent shared yet?

    “But you’re wrong. It is different than a multi-car crash!”

    you meant you believe it should be treated different

    “Ah, but there is a difference! Nothing to do with a MCI. This was the purpose of this thread.

    Go research it & then come back and let us know what you found out.”

    again how can he research a chidush that only exists in your head?

    “Look there is a difference in the assessment between a 1 car accident and a multi- car crash. And I thought you were getting close. Go research it!”

    ditto

    “There is a difference. I’m not Mechuav to teach you medicine. I was nice enough to get you started. If you show me that you’re trying, I’ll help you out. Even if I don’t get any money from you!”

    !?!?!?

    “That’s not what I want. Look there is a difference in the assessment between a 1 car accident and a multi- car crash. How do you assess a pt. who’s a victim with no other cars around?”

    “In any car crash, even though there’s the possibility of a medical cause, it’s Not probable! But in 1 car crash, it has to be treated as a medical call, along with trauma.”

    No mention that this is your own chiddush

    “The point I was making is that you evaluate for both medical & trauma at the same time. This is only for a single car accident”

    Strongly Implying that with a multiple car accident you dont need to evaluate for medical and trauma(you said I was lying when I pointed this out)

    “But let’s say the pt. is unconscious, in a single car situation – you’d follow the AMS protocol, but not with a multi-car crash!”

    Same strong implication as above (actually I dont think this is an implication in this quote you outright said it)

    “Look I have an EMS book that states -“Trauma – Are there medical causes? (e.g. diabetes, CVA, MI, etc.)””

    That wasnt the discussion

    Finnaly after a lot of back and forth (in reply to “” is this [ie distinguishing between number of cars] your own chiddush?:)

    “My own.” ie you made it up

    Then you changed your mind

    here “I didn’t make this up”

    and bizarrely asserted what you said you made up as fact

    “”the idea that a medical cause is more likely when one car is involved,” – This is true.”

    and ended with

    “I’m not trying to change the protocol that EMS shouldn’t seek for medical causes at every trauma, but I’m trying to find a solution that can be feasible! The reality is that they don’t seek for medical causes at every trauma.”

    that is NOt what you opened with at all!

    “This quote I did Not make up -“Trauma – Are there medical causes? (e.g. diabetes, CVA, MI, etc.)””

    I never claimed you did, nor did I say anything different than that quote

    “”MORE TO THE POINT only needs to be considered with one car and not with multiple cars.”

    I never said that – you’re lying!”

    fair enough. I misspoke, that isnt quite what you said. My apologies for that.

    “”the idea that a medical cause is more likely when one car is involved,”

    This is true.”

    Though you admit it is your chidush and not currently in any EMS book,guideline or protocol.

    Correct?

    I’m not sure what your statistic is supposed to show? That single MVA’s are more common? That isnt what we are discussing.

    the discussion is whether the EMS DOES (this is how it was first presented) or should (it kind of shifted to this) take a different approach with regard to managment, based on the number of cars involved

    “I didn’t make this up “

    um you did.

    This wasnt about medical causes leading to trauma.

    This was about a difference between managing 1 vs multiple car accidents.

    see this quote of yours

    “”But you’re wrong. It is different than

    a multi-car crash!””

    or this one

    “Ah, but there is a difference! Nothing to do with a MCI. This was the purpose of this thread.

    Go research it & then come back and let us know what you found out.””

    THAT is what we are discussing you said MULTIPLE TIMES that there is a difference between 1 car and multiple cars.

    You claimed you read this in a book but cannot supply name of the book.

    You finnaly admited when asked

    “”Is this what the book said (what book?) or is this your own chiddush? “

    That it is in fact:

    “My own. “

    In other words like many here suspected, the idea that a medical cuase is more likely when one car is involved, and MORE TO THE POINT only needs to be considered with one car and not with multiple cars. Or that – and i quote- “It is different than

    a multi-car crash!” (with an exclamation supplied by you btw) is something that you made up.

    I am confused. Wnow you say it is in the book-that-must not be named?

    “Did you ever look in an EMS book?!?”

    no but I always like learning new things. Please tell me which book mentions the distiction between number of cars involved in an accident.

    Do you know of one whose “copy infringment” doesnt prevent you from repeating the book’s title?

    Lol health

    I dont think you know what copy infringment is but at any rate. thanks for admitting that you made this all up.

    Nobody was doubting that there can and often are medical causes that can lead to an MVA and should be considered.

    The discussion was over this:

    “But you’re wrong. It is different than

    a multi-car crash!”

    and this:

    “2scents -“There is no difference in treating a pt that was involved in a one car accident vs a multi car accident, unless it becomes an MCI”

    Ah, but there is a difference! Nothing to do with a MCI. This was the purpose of this thread.

    Go research it & then come back and let us know what you found out.”

    Kudos for admiting that it was your own chidush, though I’m not sure why it took you so long to admit that, and I’m not sure how you expected 2scents to research a factoid that only exists in your mind.

    I’m confused whihc of the above take precedence over ABC’s (or CAB’s)? Even if you had high suspicion of Heart attack, as far as I”m aware CAB’s still come first then you can decide whether to go to trauma center or one with PCI in the unlikely event that you cant find a facility with both.

    “Im glad we can civilly agree to disagree”

    Of course, thats why I asked it. I have no problem with disagreements. and your position while wrong and bigoted is not illogical nor (grossly) inconsistent.

    the funny thing is, I assumed everybody would agree with my OP. When the eruv story was in the news as well as the KJ story. It struck me how anti-semitism (yes thats what it is, make no mistake about it, and yes Jews can be anti-semtic too, though if you insist on calling that ugly trait by another name fine I can live with that) is alive and well in 21st century America. the most striking thing was how they didnt even do a good job hiding it and outright told the New york times as well as a satire news agency that they didnt want “others” to move in and “change the look” of the community, (which i do not doubt would happen). I often wondered if anybody actually believed that the concern about the look of a community was a valid reason to prevent “undersirables” from moving in but doubted anybody actually believed that.

    what prompted my post (as you may have gathered) was the discussion about taking in refugees. Putting aside the very real and valid concern about safety a few posters, and I believe you included, made reference, to wanting to preserve the “look and face” of America. This struck me as terribly bigoted and I was curious what you would say if the “look and face” that was to be preserved was one that excluded us.

    To my surprise, You remained consistent and stated that you were ok with discrimination against everybody and as I stated i do admire your consistency.

    (Of course the only inconsistency is the timing, since I’m not quite sure if in your view it wouldve been right to ban our ancestors a century or so ago or the Italians before them or Irish and Germans before them etc.

    It seems a tad inconsistent that now that you are safe and comfortable by moving into an area and changing the “look and face” of the area (I dont mean you personally) you want to prevent others from doing the same. But I suppose you can make the argument for some arbitrary time to be the “proper” look and feel and that is the one that should be maintained by barring newcomers.)

    “You can only ban actions, not beliefs.”

    To a certain degree they are linked, if the action is required by the religion. If you ban people from lighting a menoraa, building a sukka, putting up a mezuza, or putting up an eruv (the last three examples are all real) then in effect you are banning devout Jews from living there.

    you seem to be saying that discrimination (and yes racism is semantics, if you dont like it insert xenophobia ,anti-semitism or bigotry in this context its al the same) is ok which while i disagree with, you obviously are entitled.

    That was my question in the OP.

    “I admit it, I want to live among frum Jews. Guilty. If it were up to me, every family on my block would be an orthodox Jew.”

    That isnt the discussion, as I replied in my first post to you. It doesnt matter what you want. I want your computer there is nothing wrong with that (legally, halacha of course may be different) when I grab it when you arent looking thats where the line is crossed.

    Now this is definitely not the same, but theres nothing wrong with wanting to live next to frum Jews.

    True. However Boro Park looks very different today (as does the Lower East Side ironically).

    If a fellow in Boro PArk in the 1930’s said he wanted the ST. Louis turned back because he didnt want his neighborhood to change (which it subsequently did with the mass influx post WW2) would he have been right to do that?

    question is really for newbee, I dont think you agree with him on this.

    Incidently, I guess this answers my question regarding turning back the St. Louis. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I take it, that in your view it was ok to turn back the St. Louis since obviously the “he culture and look of a city. ” would change?

    Nope you are wrong. for example in the Tenafly case the court ruled (as I recall) that if they banned ALL postings etc attached to utility poles then they can prevent the Eruv.

    Now obviously if after years of allowing postings on utility poles, when an eruv was to be built they suddenly institute a ban, even if constitutionally sound we both know the intent. However it may in fact be constitutional, however its still wrong

    With enough creativity it can be done.

    Which brings me back to my question.

    Would you mind answering?

    Dont get to caught up on immigration legislation per se. Since my point was regarding the excuse. People were afraid of communists, Jews were occasionaly communists. Thus they were vary of Jews coming in. This isnt unreasonable. There is a nice wikipedia page on the First Red scare.

    of course they were wrong!

    Also dont just limit to communists read about the anarchist exclsuion act which became the immigration act of 1918. As you may have guessed many Jews were Anarchists (Emma Goldman comes to mind)

    Wow I cant beleive I read that. starting from when? I grew up in Boro park which looks very different than it did 25 years ago and even more different than 50 years ago. Ditto for Flatbush, five towns and the Lower East side for that matter.

    Out of curiosity which historic “look” shoudl be maintained? boro park in 2015? 1965? 1915? 1865? or 1615? As you know those “looks” are quite different.

    sorry that is incorrect. The first red scare took place just after the Russian Revolution in 1919 Led by AG Palmer. In certainly picked up after WW2 but many laws were designed in the 20’s 30’s to prevent Communists from servinf in any fedearal office and – more to the point- prevent immigration of supected Communists

    “I was arguing the “blanketness” of your viewpoints”

    I have reiterated several times. I am only talking about when deemed safe, i am not talking about a blanket allowance.

    Joseph

    again while i agree with you, that isnt objective.

    Whcih would you rather live in France with its refugees and recent terror attack or the Former Soviet Union?

    now granted Its quite far fetched for the U.S. to have turned into the Soviet Union by allowing some refugees even if communist in. however there was mass anti-communist hysteria at the time (as well as a depression)and people were nervous granted the fear was overstated.

    But the risk the refugees pose is alos being over-stated. There is a thorough vetting process in place that takes almost 2 years and involves almost every intelligence agency. Tourists pose a greater threat! None of the terror attacks in the US since and including 9/11 have been via the over 700,000 refugees we have taken in since then.

    Its getting hard to keep track of all the various postitions. so here they are as I understand them.

    My apolagies If Ive misunderstood you. Please correct me and feel free to add categories or add yourself

    On the issue of syrian refugees

    1) Let as many in as want to come

    – nobody here says this

    2) Lets as many is as we can safely (and practicly)

    – a. Which we can do – Ubiquitin, Sam2, akuperma, Avi K

    – b. but impossible – DY, Syag

    3) Prevent them from coming – Health, Newbee, Joseph, flatbusher, dbrim

    Again please correct me if IVe misunderstood

    “Mass murdering terrorists are far far worse than commie sympathizers.”

    I agree completly. But they may not have

    “And it is fairly easy to determine if a refugee is Jewish or not”

    how on Earth. Sadly most werent frum they were coming From Germany?

    The antisemitism isnt really my point. Granted there’s no way of knowing what really motivates people, I have high suspicion that there is a touch of antisemitism, but its just an assumption. (and they often do admit it when their gaurd is done, there was a satire news show that did a clip on this at the time).

    “i think the large frum communities are unfortunately unrealistic about the (handful of) negative effects we unfortunately make on our neighbors “

    I agree. My question is is this a valid reason to prevent people from moving in? Or to make it undesirable by say banning an eruv?

    ZD

    Agreed

    same question

    Lest anyone think it was unsuccesful. Let’s do it again

    “Besides differences in political, ideological, social, economic variables, etc.,”

    Care to elaborate?

    ” bear in mind that the 1930’s the was pre-terror, pre 9/11 world.”

    Yes but they had their concerns Communism, anarchist (many of whom were Jewish) and the possibility of Nazi Spies infiltrating the refugees

    “Anyway, if we want to consider the issue from an empirical perspective, meaning what happens when the flow of muslim migrants enters a foreign country, we don’t have to look any further than Europe – and it’s not pretty.”

    In what sense?

    (See my new thread for related discussion)

    ” Chayecha Kodmin.”

    This part I agree with. And Am only reffering to where the neccesary agencies feel it is safe.

    Maskim, because you like apples but not elephants. However that shouldnt be a factor in doing whats right, and who knows what if apples were to become unpopular again

    “Well said.”

    What was well said? both of the lines before that are my answers to you

    Which answer do you accept?

    If a meshulach asks me for money, Do you think my replying well I cant help you there are lots of needy people out there is a valid reply?

    none of the groups you mentioned are facing death to nearly the same extent (with the possible exception of Africa). It is estimated that around 200,000 people have been killed over the past few years alone.

    “First of all Syria is not Nazi Germany performing genocide.”

    a) when the st. Louis was sent back there was no genocide in Germany yet. Do you think the US was right to send them back?

    b) So you agree that victims of Genocide can come? seems arbitrary but ok I can live with that

    “Second they should be going to other ISLAMIC COUNTRIES. “

    a) Many of the refugees arent Muslim which is part of the problem and partly what is driving the campaign of violence against them (keep this in mind when you answer “b” above it is a trap)

    b) Sadly many of the Islamic countries arent willing to take them

    As for your question. Even though it is a new topic and doesnt affect the syrian refugees as I replied earlier. I’ll answer directly

    “should we not take all of those people into the US?”

    No, much as we shouldnt take all Syrians and shouldnt have taken all Jews in the 30’s. But yes we should (and often do) take what we can.

    Please note we arent talking about throwing open the border and letting anybody from Syria in the re is a long vetting process that can take up to 2 years.

    Which is why Health’s comment is silly so hopefully you wont agree with it. It is a lot easier to get in a tourist! So leaving syrians to their death wont even prevent what is “happening/happened in Europe will happen here.” The much easier/quicker way in is still open to terrorists. Of the >700,000 refugees allowed in over the past decade 4 were arrested for anything terrorist related (and only one directed against the U.S. On the other hand NONE of the 19 terrorists on 9/11 where refugees!

    Now that I answered your question would you be so kind as to answer mine. Here they are again: edited – please be respectful to those you are debating

    1. Is it a valid response to tell one meshulach, I cant elp you becasue there are lots of other meshulachim out there?

    2. In 1939 before any systematic genocide was taking place Do you think the U.S. was justified in sending back the St. Louis

    3. Would you allow those facing Genocide asylum in the U.S. (again, and this goes without saying and is a prerequisite to my point, only if deemed safe by a thorough vetting process

    I’m sorry I’ll try to be clearer.

    If i would tell a meshulach, “I’m sorry I cant help you since there are lots of meshulachim out there”. You would (I assume) correctly say what does that have to do with anything. He needs help, help him who cares if you cant help other people.

    Thus the fact that there are “millions and millions of latinos, chinese, koreans, africans, and indians etc that desperately want to come to the US” is completley irrelevant to the subject at hand. Sure we can start a new thread to discuss those people, but this thread isnt about them.

    As for the St. Louis. It is entirely relevant for two reasons:

    1) because that is PRECISELY my point. That we the descendants of those who were denied entry should be extra careful, extremly compassionate, and be sure to exhaust all possibilities before denying that freedom to others. THIS IS ONE OF MY MAIN POINTS (not yelling, just for emphasis) as I have outlined here http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/banning-syrian-refugees-from-the-us/page/2#post-589144

    2) As a direct response to Newbee’s question (even if it was relevant) I am asking if had that excuse been used against us eg “We’d love to take you out of Hitler’s Germany but what about all the millions and millions of latinos, chinese, koreans, africans, and indians etc that desperately want to come to the US” would he accept it. and say good point, I guess the U.S. was right to sent back the St. Louis

    First of all that is one of the very two points I am making see here where I outline them http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/banning-syrian-refugees-from-the-us/page/2#post-589144 so it is quite relevant.

    and second of all Those are both my points! If you think the St. Louis isnt relevant then you agree with my answer 1 to Newbee. If you think it is relevant then the question is a valid reply to newbee’s point.

    Either way Newbee’s question is addressed.

    “I am curious to know if anyone actually living in a place that the refugees would start living could weigh in on this”

    i live in NYC. you can bet they’ll end up here.

    “I want to know why we can’t allow in the millions and millions of latinos, chinese, koreans, africans, and indians etc that desperately want to come to the US but cant. I dont think its fair.”

    1) Start a new thread, how does that affect the issue at hand

    2) Most of those arent facing death

    3)Would you accept that as a reason for the Us to have turned back the St. louis in 39?

    mdd

    “The case has been proven”

    What case? and proven how?

    with what point do you disagree.

    Again keep in mind i am only talking about cases where they can be vetted properly. With Israel there is a seperate demographic issue which is why only a token could be considred (Netanyahu said the same though he said not even a token, Herzog said to take some).
