| I'm copying law enforcement as usual: Disneyland DA Tony RACKAUCKAS, et
al...
ATTENTION EMTs: "DANGEROUS OR PERILOUS CIRCUMSTANCES" ARE BEING CREATED BY
OBs...
FELONIES ARE BEING COMMITTED IN THE HOSPITALS TO WHICH YOU TRANSPORT...
FACT #1: OBs ARE TEMPORARILY ASPHYXIATING BABIES TO ROB THEM OF BLOOD
FACT #2: OBs ARE KNOWINGLY CLOSING BIRTH CANALS UP TO 30%.
PREGNANT WOMEN: Do NOT let the OB or CNMwife rob your baby of blood by
immediately clamping your baby's umbilical cord. Make them wait until the
cord stops pulsating and your baby is pink and/or no longer in need of
resuscitation. Also, it's easy for you to allow your birth canal to OPEN
the "extra" up to 30% - just roll onto your side as you push your baby out.
BEWARE: Some OBs and CNMwives will let you "try" alternative positions but
they will move you back to semisitting or dorsal (close your birth canal!)
for the actual delivery! Talk to your OB or CNMwife about this today.

Do NOT assume that just because law enforcement is not taking action a crime
is not being committed!

OPEN LETTER (archived for global access; see below)
Leonard H. Guercia, Jr. EMT-P, Director
CT Department of Public Health
Office of Emergency Medical Services
410 Capitol Avenue, MS #12EMS
Hartford, CT 06134-0308
Tel. (860) 509-7975 Fax (860) 509-7987
E-mail: leonard.guercia@po.state.ct.us
Leonard,
Thanks for contacting me - I enjoyed our phone call.
Just curious... Did you receive my 1st email sent via:
webmaster.dph@po.state.ct.us?
See Connecticut EMTs to save babies nationwide?
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2742
In that 1st email, I mentioned you by name and noted that by statute some
Connecticut Fire and EMS departments are "rescue services" whose job is to
"render emergency service to persons who are in dangerous or perilous
circumstances." [Chap 368d Sec. 19a-175(12) of Connecticut's EMS statute]
During our telephone conversation today, you seemed to agree with me (I'm
now adding the phrase "dangerous or perilous circumstances") that babies are
being placed in "dangerous or perilous circumstances" - to wit:
1. Babies are being robbed of blood by OBs - robbed of up to 50% of blood
they would otherwise have tranfused to themselves - and
2. Babies are being robbed of pelvic outlet area by OBs.^^^
^^^OBs are pushing violently on tiny spines with oxytocin and Cytotec and
pulling gruesomely with hands, forceps and vacuums - with birth canals
senselessly closed. Sometimes OBs pull so hard that spinal nerves are
ripped out of tiny spinal cords. Some babies die, some are paralyzed - most
"only" have their spines gruesomely wrenched. ALL spinal manipulation is
gruesome with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%.
See again: Hospital beatings: Obstetrics is 'the service leader'
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2757
If you disagree with me on these points, please immediately contact me and
tell me the reasons why you disagree.
If you AGREE...BRAVO!
TAKE ACTION TO HELP BABIES!
Given the Connecticut EMS statute quoted above - and given that EMT protocol
designed by EMT-supervising physicians does NOT involve immediately clamping
cords/amputating natural oxygenation/transfusion devices (placentas)...
Please IMMEDIATELY call upon Connecticut "rescue services" and
EMT-supervising physicians to IMMEDIATELY stop OBs from creating "dangerous
or perilous circumstances" by immediately clamping cords/amputating natural
oxygenation/transfusion devices. (Hopefully, EMT-supervising physicians will
also stop OBs from closing birth canals even though they may not yet have a
protocol directing EMTs not to close birth canals.)
JUST THINK LEONARD...
By IMMEDIATELY stopping OBs from creating "dangerous or perilous
circumstances"....
By taking action BEFORE that upcoming meeting of EMT-supervising physicians
that you mentioned...
EMT-supervising physicians and EMTs will be able to use that meeting to
celebrate having PREVENTED a lot of emergencies.
Some time during that upcoming meeting might be devoted to strategizing to
help EMS personnel in other states prevent OB-caused emergencies.
Leonard, whether you take action NOW to help babies - or wait until that
upcoming meeting to broach these subjects with physicians - I am sure
progress will be made.
My thanks to Dennis Blaschinski for forwarding my 2nd EMT email thereby
stimulating you to contact me and ask me to call you.
Sincerely,
Todd
Dr. Gastaldo
todd@chiromotion.com
PS My further comments are interspersed below...
Leonard, were you one of the government officials who telephoned Connecticut
volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT and gave him to understand that
you agree with him that I am a "nutcase"?
Regardless, would you call him and tell him you agree that EMTs should work
to stop OBs from asphyxiating babies to rob blood, etc.?
Again, if you don't agree - please contact me immediately with your
reasoning.
See below...

AUGUST 31 UPDATE: Valerie DeFrance, NREMT-P replied to me on Aug. 15, 2004:
"Thank you for the message...The stories are published as presented for this
section. It is not, and never has been, the intention of the EMS House to
correct, comment on or otherwise alter anything in the personal stories
submitted to the EMS House regarding babies EMT's have delivered in the
field...If, however, these stories, or any of the contents in the EMS House,
spur on discussion as to how to better do our jobs, that's great."
Valerie: As long as that story is on your site uncorrected, some EMTs are
going to think it's ok to clamp the cord before it stops pulsating - while
the baby is still "gray-blue-purple"...
Canadian Grandma Donna Young has indicated to me that 911 operators are
advising immediate cord clamping with shoe laces...
The nation's EMS system should be sensitized to end the bizarre practice of
denying baby's access to blood and oxygen at birth...

Leonard,
You said you wanted to be "candid" with me, saying that my emails were "hard
to follow"...
I appreciated your candor.
Hopefully you no longer think my email was "insane" - I'm assuming you might
be one of the government officials who emailed or telephoned Carey Gregory,
EMT, as in Carey's reply to one of my posts...
"Apparently your current 'scope of practice' is merely to be a net stalker
and engage in email harassment....I've now received about 15 phone calls and
emails from friends, associates, and assorted government officials wanting
to know who these insane emails
are from and what they're about...What you're doing is a felony in [Oregon],
and if you think I won't file the complaint, you are badly mistaken."
http://groups.google.com/groups?sel...m&output=gplain
Later, Carey wrote to Ilena Rosenthal indicating that in "almost 20 calls
and emails" people have been suggesting I am a "nutcase"...
"Tell you what, Ilena, I'll trade you a couple of sane, rational people on
usenet who simply respond to your posts for that lunatic friend of yours,
Todd. He likes to track down every possible person on the planet who might
know you or have some influence in your life. He then sends all those
people harassing emails trying to embarrass you, get you fired, etc. I've
had almost 20 calls and emails the last few days asking me who this nutcase
is and what he's talking about.
http://groups.google.com/groups?sel...m&output=gplain
Carey concluded with "go figure," saying,
"He included a professional association I
belong to, my boss, friends, co-workers, state regulatory officials, and
even the Oregon attorney general's office (go figure - he copies the AG's
office while engaging in cyberstalking and email harassment)...."
Carey needn't have said "go figure."
I STATED the reason I copied Oregon State Attorney General Hardy Meyers:
Because volunteer public official Carey accused me of committing a felony
in Oregon.
Let me be candid, Leonard...
I do NOT think I committed a felony - I do not think it a felony to contact
EMTs about a gross ongoing emergency.
I contacted Oregon State Attorney General Hardy Meyers because he knows best
who is committing a felony - PLUS (as I indicated) - I'm hoping Hardy will
stop the felonies that *I* am reporting.
Volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT continued...
"And this is the second time he's done this. About two years ago he did the
same thing, despite the fact that I've had him killfiled since the late
1990s..."
http://groups.google.com/groups?sel...m&output=gplain
I contacted Carey's employer ONCE - to say that I had NOT contacted Carey's
employer as Carey once lied about...
Here is that single contact with Carey's employer - who may be Carey
himself!
OPEN LETTER (archived for global access***)
Gateway Technologies Corporation
Canton Business Park
101 River Road
Canton, CT 06019
Voice: (860) 693-1097
Fax: (860) 693-1112
sales@gw-tech.com ; info@gw-tech.com
Dear Gateway Technologies,
Your principle engineer, Carey Gregory, recently publicly diagnosed me as
"insane" and in need of "medication."
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...uci0vbdcn8te49e
i383bo4ri7nlcd%404ax.com
I'm not all that troubled by Carey's diagnosis as I don't consider myself
insane or in need of medication (though of course I'm biased!); besides -
Carey is probably unqualified to diagnose and advise medication anyway...
What troubles me is that Carey publicly indicated that I tried to damage his
career by emailing his employer...
I never emailed Carey's employer - but I did once email CAREY - at
cgregory@gw-tech.com - regarding an Emergency Medical Technician/EMT
matter - because Carey gave his gw-tech.com email address on an Emergency
Medical Technician/EMT web site.
See EMS moment of silence for babies?
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...91383%40newsrea
d2.prod.itd.earthlink.net
Carey replied privately on 3/13/02: "Email from you is not welcome
here...[D]o not send email to the gw-tech.com DOMAIN again." (emphasis
added)
Since Carey now makes false public inferences in regard to his employer
Gateway Technologies, I am taking the liberty of publicly writing to Gateway
Technologies to make necessary corrections: 1) I emailed *Carey* at Gateway
Technologies; and 2) I did NOT do so to damage Carey's career.
Gateway Technologies will receive no further e-mail from me.
BTW, if Carey Gregory *is* Gateway Technologies then I suppose that Carey -
being his own employer - could conceivably fire himself thereby damaging his
career.
I hope he does not do this.
It is hard to find a good principle engineer!
[vbcol=seagreen]
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/grou...st/message/2728
Carey closed with,
"Indeed, to my knowledge I've never replied to a single one of his
posts - ever...."
http://groups.google.com/groups?sel...m&output=gplain
Well, Carey HAS replied - rather boorishly.
Previously Carey replied by encouraging people to ignore my warnings about
the OB felonies (calling me a "moron" and my posts "moronic").
Most recently, public official Carey called me "psychotic" - then LIED in
regard to my warnings...
Again...
As I noted in the post excerpted above...
When Coleah asked, "Appx how long is the average wait until the baby turns
pink
and the cord
stops pulsating?...Why do you think medical personnel are not waiting that
length of time?"
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...0hnh6nm86bib59\
%40corp.supernews.com
Volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT pretended that all medical
personnel wait:
"They *do* wait that length of time."
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...8jnh01ieahvh5e\
dbj1034h9t8pa9br44r%404ax.com
This was a LIE. Carey was only speaking for *EMTs*...
Coleah asked, "So, what's the problem?"...
I replied...
The problem is that Carey is wrong - maybe he is so busy calling my posts
"moronic" that he isn't reading them.
In many (most?) births, medical personnel DO immediately clamp cords, as in
ACOG Practice Bulletin B138:
"...Immediately after delivery of the neonate, a segment of umbilical cord
should be doubly clamped, divided, and placed on the delivery table pending
assessment of the five minute Apgar score."
--1991 (re-affirmed Feb 2002) ACOG Committee opinion: Bulletin 138 - April
1994 (replaces #91, February 1991)
From quotes compiled mainly by Eileen Simon from the Harvard Medical School
Libraryhttp://www.cordclamping.com/History.htm
FACT: OBs ARE TEMPORARILY ASPHYXIATING BABIES TO ROB BLOOD FROM THEM
Again quoting George Malcolm Morley, MB ChB, FACOG:
[vbcol=seagreen]

Who knows? Maybe the immediate cord clamping mass asphyxiation crime
(thanks for the heads-up Donna) will be what leads investigators to stop the
obstetricians' mass birth-canal-closing crime...
What ever works.
I don't want anyone punished - indeed I have stated I am in favor of pardons
in advance for MDs. MDs are just academic prime cuts forced through this
culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder - medical school.
Some EMTs are no doubt suck-ups to MDs - sort of like how many RNs are still
MD-handmaidens...
I believe volunteer public official Carey Gregory, EMT may be one of the EMT
suck-ups - babies be damned.
Thanks for reading everyone.
Sincerely,
Todd
