The link itself made me chuckle.  I could almost hear Gomer Pyle shouting "Cardiac Arrest! Cardiac Arrest!"

But these were not patient satisfaction surveys.  Although because that fact was not in the fine print you might be excused for having passed it by.  That, and the fact that your are a Risk Manager, not a Hospital Administrator.

I'm not sure but my money is on the Good Samaritan laws of all the states they flew over saying that the "responders" to the "in-flight situation" did not establish a patient-caregiver relationship.  I'm also pretty sure that if in fact such a relationship were established it would require the completion of assignment of benefit forms and all those HIPAA sign-offs, including the one about having your bodily fluids tested for a host of diseases and conditions regardless of your willingness to give permission fpr that to be done.

stay safe.

“At that point, my training just took over and I didn’t even think.  I went into a ‘zone’.  I popped open the briefcase, and found the satisfaction surveys just where I expected them.  I began to pass them out — quickly and purposefully, in a way that said, ‘This may be a critical situation, but I’ve done this numerous times before’.

Eh, close enough for government work.

Can't be true. Stapleton has been closed for years.

Also, they would have diverted to Salt Lake City, not Denver...
