肯塔基州医护人员可能因为用抗毒血清来挽救一个人的生命而失去执照,这违反了国家的规则。 Kentucky paramedics may lose licenses for saving a man's life with antivenom, violating state rules.

肯塔基州两名医护人员可能因为给Jim Harrison注射抗毒血清而失去执照。 Jim Harrison是一位爬行动物研究者,尽管救了Jameson的命,但被Jameson的Mamba咬了。 Two Kentucky paramedics may lose their licenses for giving antivenom to Jim Harrison, a reptile researcher bitten by a Jameson’s mamba, despite saving his life. 治疗是在护理人员无法与其上司联系、进行远程咨询后由急诊室医生批准进行的。 The treatment was authorized by an ER doctor after the paramedics, unable to contact their supervisor, consulted remotely. 然而,肯塔基州法律将抗毒血清管理限制在经过认证的野外护理人员,而应急人员并不持有这一类别。 However, Kentucky law restricts antivenom administration to certified wilderness paramedics, a category the responders do not hold. 肯塔基紧急医疗服务委员会正在审查此案,并安排举行听证会,以确定护理人员的紧急行动是否应导致纪律处分。 The Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services is reviewing the case, with a hearing scheduled to determine whether the paramedics’ emergency actions should result in disciplinary action.
