X-Message-Number: 3263 From: Date: Thu, 13 Oct 1994 20:13:42 -0700 Subject: CRYONICS Frozen patient count In message #3218, Steve Bridge wishes to determine the number of patients currently in suspension, by a method that avoids double- counting. I suggest that to avoid double-counting, we rely upon a most elementary principle of physics: One frozen patient cannot be in two different physical locations at the same time. Let us then tally patients by their **location**. The question of legal custody of patients is frequently murky or under dispute. Tallying suspendees on the basis of "legal custody" is likely to create either over--or under--counting of the suspended patients At present Trans Time has 9 patients in suspension at our facility at 10208 Pearmain Street, Oakland, California, USA.
