Injured...according to the first post?

Is he not already in the morgue as per the photo?

Either that or the ER is missing a lot of equipment.

We in no way intend to demean Mr. Kolev's unfortunate death in the service of a nameless billionaire.

However, if this yacht really is flying the flag of "Cadman Island", there's more to this story. Cadman Island (53.29°N 132.65°W) is a 0.61 sq km island in the northern British Columbia's Queen Charlottes, Canada.

It would be the tiniest of micronations if Cadman Island had a flag!

What equipment do you believe to be "missing" ?

Perhaps you can detail the "equipment" that is required to deal with severe leg injuries and probable exsanguination.

In other words put up or ***********

[shaurene]

reading the Puket report, sill reporter. He say the 40 meter WIDE super yacht. It was 140 ft long which is approx 40mts so they are saying it was as wide as the length. What silly reporting.

I have worked on these type of yachts in the Meddi Malorca.

The anchor winches are contrôléd by a supposedly experienced crew member using a remote control hand help remote. Normally the first officer. Which can stop the chain winch in a second.

Normally a crew member close to the chain has a fresh water hose to wash the salt water off the chain coming in.

Boy oh Boy.

Should read Cayman Islands, and there is more to this story, this Russian billionaire has taken advantage of sailing under the Cayman flag, basically that means he is not liable for an accident on the ship that he bought as it is owned by an exempted company on the Cayman's.

9. In order to register a vessel on the Cayman Islands Register of Ships the owner must be a qualified person. Although it is generally recommended to use a Cayman Islands vehicle for ownership purposes, it is, in fact, possible for any corporate body to own a Cayman Islands registered yacht or ship either by appointing a representative person or registering as a foreign company under Part IX of the Cayman Islands Companies Law. This allows owners the flexibility to use a foreign corporate vehicle where there are taxation benefits or other reasons for doing so. Using a corporate body to own a vessel has the important benefit of limiting the liability of the owner if a collision or other event incurring liability should occur. However, in practice, usually a new Cayman Islands company limited by shares is incorporated to own each vessel as this is generally simpler administratively and less likely to result in delay.

No, it says 140 meters, not feet, it's the Ocean Victory, it's the 9th largest yacht in the world.

the headline says man severely injured. you see a pic that some might assume to be an ed. if the story says died and you see that pic of a morgue (refrigerator doors) it would seem more reasonable.

that pic seems to show a room without any pre-mortem equipment. nobody needs to jump on their high horse asking to specify what is needed to treat major lacerations with possible ortho issues/ crush component (if that is correct term) sir doctor.

I was very tempted to ask what " pre-mortem equipment."(sic) is then realised that I am talking to **** ex-pats whose major knowledge/expertise is associated with the ever popular sport of Thai bashing .

He simply stated that the picture above looks like a morgue rather than an emergency room.

I agree.

In this case severely injured appears to be dead already.

That's a pretty rude response to a reasonable question! It looks like a morgue, the 2 policemen are not wearing any sort of protective gear (to avoid infecting the victim), no emergency breathing apparatus??

Methinks you're in need of either a stiff drink or a smoke?

If you really worked on these type of yachts, you get confused by metres and feet. Thank God you didn't read the charts!

When dropping an anchor, it is not controlled on the winch clutch, its freefall time... If you are in the wrong place when it goes, game over !

I don't think you really worked on 140m yachts before

apparently it makes you feel better about yourself by berating others that logically do not know about technical terms specific names of equipment used in an emergency dept when their backgrounds-studies are not related to medical stuff.

since post mortem refers to after death would pre-mortem not refer to still alive, before death? i use the term in a nonchalant way to refer to the instruments-technology that would be present on living patients to treat them.

with your expertise you could surely educate us a little and help us understand. are medical minds not humble educators also?

why are you wasting your expertise drilling us on tv forum when your expertise would be better served on doctor-surgeon medical forums?

Dear Doctor,

heres a very simple question from a simple tv forum poster; why would a morgue have any er or surgical or equipment at all for treating living patients? therefore your question about naming the equipment seems inapplicable if not bizarre.
