Thanks, Sean. That was the quality essentially absent from AP’s letter and made it so disturbing, wasn’t it? Compassion.

Pam, As always you hit it right on the head of the nail!(Maybe someone should hit “AP” in the head with something) might make “AP” a little more compasionate. Rescues usually are caused by 1 or more mistakes, usually more adding up to trouble. We all can have a bad day, no matter how prepared we are. Thats why accidents are named appropriately– they ‘re ACCIDENTS! Thank You as Always! Great Reading!!!! AWESOME points made!!!!

Thank you, Terry. Interesting to hear from someone who has studied such matters.

A very well considered post Pam I taught medical ethics at Paisley Uni for 4 years and realise life is never just black and white ! As always a little knowlwdge which might or usually is not even based on fact can lead to a very black opinion not even a hint of greyness Terry

Indeed, Douglas. Let’s take a little look at those driving statistics – much, much more dangerous than kayaking!

Hello Pam well said! Presumably AP partakes of no risky behaviours like driving or breathing. )
