Could Nastasha Richardson Have Survived Her Fall?

I was hopeful when I wrote my article about Natasha “Death By Ski” despite the title. Why? Because I thought the woman was being treated for her brain bleed as I indicated in my first paragraph. I fully expected her to live and fully expected her to die as a result of her injury…at the same time!

How could that be? It showed my intuition was active here. She could have been saved is the real response if she was being treated for her brain bleed as I thought was happening.

But no, that was NOT the case. In her 911 call it is clear they went there but she did not exit the building. They returned STAT to retrieve her. What she did not know is that there was no freaking CT scan any where nearby. She needed that all-important CT scan, then someone qualified could have trephened her head and allowed the blood to exit the wound, until she could be stablilized then moved to a REAL surgery room and a REAL hospital in the US.

Heloise has lots of hospital experience and I know a real one when I see one. Canada fell short, just like Natasha on this one.
