Palm trees and sand.....I'm not talking about Florida. Egypt...."D" Nile (denial). A number of people (even the 'new' ones) don't think it will happen to them. That is why they don't do it.
We just had a patient transported to the hospital.....why? Because he had a headache, nausea, sleepiness, fatigue... it had been going on (on and off) for several days. The crew that walked into the house had their portable carbon monoxide alarm screaming at them almost immediately. Litterally within 2 seconds. The guy was running his generator ON and OFF for the same number of days the symptoms had been going on. He had his generator uder his carport despite HUNDREDS of public safety announcements and the news media saying it constantly. Both on TV and Raido. Throughout the entire transport and his entire time in the ER.....HE SWORE up and down that it COULDN"T POSSIBLY be from his generator.
