the patient was suicidal and wanted to die, sues the doctor for saving his life.

Because the wrong scalpel was used to cut the patient's "..." as the surgeon thought it would better for this situation even tho the Surgery was a success, we can't allow that in out clinic.

As a former lifeguard, the person who is supposed to go in for the rescue is ALWAYS the first person who notices the danger. It doesn't matter whose zone the victim is in. If you see something, blow the whistle and jump in. This private company's policy is absolute nonsense, and I respect these guards for leaving.

@CelabWilliams-gb6rm8 ай бұрын
@@gildahobbs8829it is for sure a case of hr and corporate overdoing their paperwork. They checked all the boxes and then some not realising that they do nothing outside of a theoretical concept. Because for a business in theory it makes all the sense to have lines drawn to not cross, however, anyone with half a brain would realise if they hired someone appropriate for being a LIFEguard, they would go outside the zone to save someone. But, pencil pushers spent to much time inside worried about money and not once saw the real world action of their rules and laws.

He is currently overseeing an investigation of the incident and a review of policies. The company has offered to rehire Lopez and two other guards who were fired for standing by him, but so far Lopez has declined the offer. He has accepted the key to the city of Hallandale Beach. >Six guards quit over the episode, and the story was picked up in both national and international media, including CNN, the Huffington Post and Fox and Friends.

So amazingly ridiculous! Why do people make rules that don’t even make sense? So very glad that they all stuck together to prove a point and a cause. The person who was saved and his family are even happier!

@Max Gill that's what i was thinking... they "made a pact to save lives instead of their jobs" by discouraging people from working there and all resigning. Big brain move.
@brendonfernandes28773 жыл бұрын
@Max Gill Its a protest. If they all resigned in protest there might be a change in rules however small a chance. If they stayed on like nothing happened that slim chance of a change of rules becomes almost non existent. As long as people support bad rules because of apathy bad rules will continue to exist unless people show their dissent.

Really they shouldn’t be WATCHING the water outside of their area. But if someone alerts them to a person drowning outside their area, obviously they’re going to go in and save them. I’m familiar with this company and they’re very shady. They also pay their guards almost nothing. Perfect example of why municipalities should be in charge of life guarding, not private companies.
