EMTs find baby in toilet, think it’s dead, then transport to ER in bio bag...but he’s ALIVE

In this episode I will tell the story that took place in August of 2022 in Woonsocket, RI, USA.  Two EMTs find a mother who has just delivered a premature baby into her toilet.  The baby is left in the toilet, determined to be dead, transported to the ER in a red bio-hazard bag with the mother, only for ER staff to determine that the baby is still alive.  How could this have happened?  Would routine simulation, practice, and the use of checklists have possibly prevented this from occurring.  All of this and more on this episode...

What do you think?  Have you ever been on a call like this?  Let me know in the comments below.  This is a terribly sad situation but always remember, that because of mistakes like this, the rest of the world can learn.
