What new reporting reveals about Renée Nicole Good’s death and initial scene details?

Don Lemon 0:13
A shocking report just weeks after Renee Nicole Good's death in Minnesota. And I want to show it to you. It is from a Minnesota news organization. It says ICE agents are trained in CPR. They didn't use it on Renee Macklin Good. I guess that's her maiden name or her former married name. But then it goes on to say, an analysis of videos, 9-11 calls, fire department records and dispatch laws conducted by MPR News and APM Reports raises questions about whether the federal agency that mortally wounded Renee Macklin Good did enough to try to save her life. And here's what it says. It took more than 10 minutes after Macklin Good was shot by a federal immigration officer before someone gave her CPR. Immigrations and customs enforcement enforcement agents are trained in basic CPR, a series of lifesaving techniques that can keep blood flowing to vital organs.
Don Lemon 1:05
But they did not perform it on Macklin Good as she was shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross on January 7th. Also, what they did not do is let a physician who was on the scene go to try to render aid. This is what happened in real time. Watch.

Why did ICE agents reportedly not perform CPR on Renée Good?

Bystander/On-scene person (voice from video) - Unknown 1:22
Can I go check a pulse? No, back up now. I'm a physician. I don't care. Hey, listen, we understand. We got EMS coming. I get it. Just give us a second. We have medics on scene. We have our own medics. Where are they? Where are they? How can I relax? You just killed my fucking neighbor.

What does the on-scene video show when a physician offers to check her pulse?

Bystander/On-scene person (voice from video) - Unknown 1:42
You caught butter in the fucking face. You killed my fucking neighbor. How do you show up to work every day? How the fuck do you do this every day? You're killing my neighbors. You're stealing my neighbors. What the fuck, man?
Don Lemon 1:55
Hey, listen, strong language there, but you can imagine how upset people are and having just witnessed it and then not allowing someone to go over and render aid. I want to bring in Dr. Frida now. She's a triple board certified nephrologist and a medical expert in internal medicine, pediatrics and obesity medicine. She does a live stream on her YouTube channel every Monday at noon Eastern time on trending medical topics in the headlines and celebrity health. Thank you for joining us, doctor. I appreciate it. You can understand. Say again.
Dr. Frida 2:25
It was my pleasure to be here, but this sickens me. Yeah.
Don Lemon 2:30
How so?
Dr. Frida 2:32
It is everyone's goal to preserve life, especially physicians. And so when I hear that physician saying, can I check a pulse? I know that he fully understands that even for those of us who are in the medical field, we rely on bystanders to start CPR, to stop bleeding, because the majority of people who experience trauma die from bleeding out. And you can bleed out in three to five minutes, meaning you can literally bleed to death. But most of the times, EMS, the ambulance, they don't get there for another seven to 10 minutes. And so those first minutes are crucial. And so I just know, I know that the physician's heart must have just stopped when he heard that ICE agent say, oh, we've got people on the way.
Dr. Frida 3:19
Because even if you're not a physician, it's important to go assess a patient, see if they have a pulse, stop the bleeding, tie a tourniquet, administer CPR, every minute counts. Because in the case of cardiac arrest, for example, for every minute that a person goes without CPR, the mortality increases by 10%. So by 10 minutes, goodbye. And after four minutes of no CPR and without the proper brain flow, blood flow to the brain after four minutes, then brain cells die.

How do medical experts explain the critical minutes after a shooting?

Dr. Frida 3:51
And so those first minutes are absolutely critical and can be the difference between life and death. And so now to learn that Renee Good actually had a pulse eight minutes after she was shot, That means that different factors could have been on her side. One, she's young in her 30s and it was cold, which would have slowed how fast her heart was beating, was pumping out blood. And it just lets us know as physicians that there's a possibility that she could have lived. and denied her care. And they didn't miss her care. Yeah.
Don Lemon 4:27
You're not the only physician saying that. There was a physician, I just want to show you, because she's saying similar things to what you're saying, doctor.
