re: Terrible loss-An ER Nurse in Lafayette died of Covid

The cause of death is never covid. It is cardiac arrest or respiratory failure with covid being on line 2

Cardiac arrest and respiratory failure should never be on a death certificate. They are not causes of deaths, but mechanisms. If by line 2 you mean line B, then that is what gets counted by statistics because it’s the last line used in part 1. If you mean part 2, then covid would not be recorded.

If you put multiple things on one line such as:

A. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension

They count the first one.

If you put:

A. Diabetes mellitus

B. Hypertension

Then they count hypertension. However, this makes no sense as you are supposed to be able to use the words “due to” between lines. So that death certificate would read “diabetes mellitus due to hypertension.”

In this scenario the physician should pick one and put the other one in part two. So it should read something like

A. Hypertensive cardiovascular disease

Part 2: Diabetes mellitus


For typical covid pneumia deaths, the death certificate should read something like this:

A. CoVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia

Part 2: Diabetes Mellitus

let's say someone diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer decides to take a shortcut and puts a bullet in his brain, what is the cause of death?

---

Gunshot wound of head, and the manner is suicide. Because the gunshot wound would have killed a completely healthy person, the metastatic lung cancer did not medically contribute to his death - although it certainly contributed to his motive.

Dude, I said I don't know who is making it political.. Quite frankly I don't give a shite. My point is.. No matter what, I think people should be more respectful to the situation.

If me saying that is a bad thing then o well.
