Aj Loughry Hospital Case

702 Words3 Pages

ST.BONAVENTURE, NY (Apr. 1st, 2016) — AJ Loughry sits on a green couch in the center lounge on the 4th floor of Devereux Hall. He sips his coffee, looking out the window as he reminisces about the roughest night he’s encountered at St. Bonaventure University. The night in question involved the school’s medical emergency response team, better known as MERT.

“My friend and I were drinking and at some point someone called MERT,” said Loughry. “Security came and tried to take my friend to the hospital despite us both protesting it.

In the case that the patient needs additional medical attention, MERT will call Allegany Rescue to scene to escort the patient to Olean General Hospital where they can receive additional care.” Some Students believe that “additional care” happens more often than it should.
Students such as Scott Gaffey, a sophomore education major, says he thinks the system should be in place, but currently has major flaws.
“I think the idea of MERT is good, but its overused unnecessarily, said Gaffey. “I don’t think that highly of it.”
Gaffey then recounted his experience with MERT last year after taking 10 shots of vodka.
“When MERT came, they said I seemed fine, but when they took my blood pressure again, apparently it changed. Because it wasn’t consistent, they told me I automatically had to go to the

    Imagine the United States in its near future: while a select few successful, affluent and influential people take power over the rest of the country and essentially control the way it operates domestically and internationally, the remainder of the population remains at a state comparable to the Great Depression in the 1930s, where unemployment rates are high, few unskilled jobs are available to the public, and the majority of urban residents are forced to rely on soup kitchens and live in shantytowns. The state of most United States schools today is absolutely atrocious, and should they continue to educate the modern generation of children and teens, a dystopian society is bound to arise in what is now considered one of the most powerful and
