Mr. Bull, many people have been asking about you on the "Cold Filter" 
cryonics forum. They would like to know what you think of the recent SA 
case. They became interested in you because of your post on Cryonet, which 
was mentioned here:

I think most people want to know what you think of SA sending two metal 
fabricators and a secretary, (none of whom had cryonics, or medical, 
experience), to do their most recent case. In addition, I would like to know 
if you based your decision to sign up with SA on the following information 
they posted on the CI website: 
http://www.cryonics.org/SA/SA_CI_Announcement.html

"Suspended Animation, located in south Florida, is pursuing research and 
development to enhance standby procedures. Our assistance for participating 
members of CI WILL INCLUDE:

PARAMEDICS AND OTHER TRAINED PERSONNEL who will travel to the bedside.
Medications, provided under contract with Critical Care Research, to 
mitigate ischemic injury
Mechanical cardiopulmonary support and ventilation via a custom-designed 
Michigan Instruments Thumper.
Rapid cooling in a newly modified portable ice bath.
VASCULAR ACCESS BY A SURGEON followed by washout with a transport solution"

(Note that they did not send even ONE paramedic, nor a surgeon, to their 
case.)

In regard to your remarks about being "impressed by their facility," perhaps 
you shouldn't be too willing to "judge a book by its cover," and as for the 
hiring of the PhD you were equally impressed with, Platt had him fired five 
months later. (He made the same mistake I did, he didn't want to do 
everything Platt's way.)

I know I lot of people would be happy to hear your opinions, if you would 
care to contribute.
