"We urge that @ACEPNow actively rescind any explicit or implicit endorsement of the 2009 Report on #ExcitedDelirium Syndrome. This position should be communicated to law enforcement and to expert witnesses testifying in civil and criminal litigation." escholarship.org/uc/item/8b27k8…
Ninguna organización de medicine de emergencia en los EEUU apoye un trastorno como "delirio agitado" o "excited delirium." Desafortunadamente, la gente en custodia aun muere debido a asfixia posicional.
Magrebí politoxicómano, violento y con antecedentes, muere por síndrome de delirio agitado al ser retenido para evitar un robo. Detienen al policía que lo retenía y las asociaciones procriminales ya están organizando toma de calles y disturbios. La Ley se detiene, el mal avanza
Aqui esta su respuesta, de la segunda fuente. Las muertes no se tratan de un síndrome misterioso, sino de posiciones boca abajo o con una llave de cuello.
Y si me pides fuentes del síndrome del delirio agitado, hay múltiples de ellas pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9645173/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27790150/

All emergency medicine organizations in the US have withdrawn support for the concept of "excited delirium." So I am dubious that the ER docs in this case diagnosed him as such.

Just in - Boulder County DA announces it has filed manslaughter charge against paramedic Edward McClure for the Dec death of Jesus Lopez Barcenas. Key to case… how Barcenas was transported after police call. Facedown (prone) and strapped down into a gurney Pic below
Jesus Lopez Barcenas may also serve as another example of prone restraint during EMS care: cbsnews.com/colorado/news/…
Death from prone restraint doesn't happen just in police custody. This happens in the care of EMS. (see Earl Moore Jr) This happens in the care of the ER doctor. (see Juventino Ceballos Hernandez)
1. New pediatric #flu deaths for 2024-25 continue to be reported to #CDC; last week 4 more were added. The latest occurred in mid-June. There've been a staggering 260 deaths in '24-25, the worst year (except the 2009 pandemic) since CDC started tracking peds flu deaths.…
Excited delirium is a controversial term—and it’s cited in the autopsy of a man who died after being restrained by Edmonton police in 2023. Alberta officials say they don’t recognize it as a cause of death, and the man’s family is speaking out against it—so why was it included in…
The nice thing about imaginary friends is they can never betray you. Or so I used to think.
I got into a conflict with my friends today, because I said that Pogačar can do it and have the absolute TDF wins record as the record is 5 and he already have 3 wins. And they kept saying that the record is 7 and nothing else. Well, I rather don’t say anything. 🫣 📷:…
The death toll this past #flu season took on kids continues to climb. In its latest flu update, #CDC reports on another 4 deaths, bringing the total to date to 250 — an extraordinary number. 89% of the kids for whom vaccination status was known weren't fully vaccinated.…
“In the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?”
Thank you @chrisgelardi for your continued reporting on this issue. It's heartening to see the LEOs who are rejecting excited delirium on their own inititiative, even when NY state guidance is inconsistent or slow in coming!
NEW: Excited delirium is said to turn people into erratic aggressors and has been discredited by much of the medical establishment. Documents show that state and local agencies across New York train law enforcement officers on the disavowed syndrome. nysfocus.com/2025/06/11/exc…

Kristi Noem on Los Angeles: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."
She was a lovely person. Fascism has come to Minnesota. But we will not be intimidated. Live free or die.
I am heartbroken and horrified by the tragic loss of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were taken from us in an act of violence. Melissa was a good friend and we started in politics at the same time and were always there for each other. She was a true public…
