A drone with a defibrillator operated by the North Jutland Region was sent on Tuesday for the very first time after a man had had a heart attack in Aalborg.
Just seven minutes after the emergency services were notified, the drone arrived at the site of the cardiac arrest.
A success
While an ambulance was even faster and managed to revive the man, the emergency center’s coordinator Jan Lindberg hailed the quick effort as a success.
“All the technical elements went as they should on the defibrillator’s flight,” he said nordjyske.dk.
Good views
The success of the project – which has the support of the Capital Region of Denmark’s Emergency Response Center, the Prehospital Company, the Karolinska Institute and Everdrone – will determine whether the pilot is expanded across the country.
The survival rate for people who get cardiac arrest is 15 percent, but in highly frequented areas about 50 percent.
Priests are calling for an independent center where church abuse cases can be reported
Seven pastors from the Danish National Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Danish Church, have joined forces to call for a nationally independent center where violations within the church can be reported. However, the bishops of the Danish National Church, together with representatives of parish councils, are against such a center. According to Church Minister Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen, within the last ten years there have been 29 cases of sexual abuse committed by priests and employees of the Danish National Church. In Kristeligt Dagblad, the seven priests describe their superiors’ attitude as “naive and outdated”. Norway has had such a center for 25 years.

The European Court of Justice is increasing the heat by removing Danish products that claim to be feta
You may have heard that the EU made it illegal to sell cheese labeled as ‘feta’, which does not originate in Greece, but was confused when you saw the continued sale of Danish ‘feta’ products in supermarkets. Well, but the European Court of Justice has now ruled that the Danish authorities have “breached their obligations” by not intervening in such cases. Fines will follow if Denmark does not take action.
How yesterday’s Tour de France heroism could have ended very differently
The organizers of the Tour de France last night appealed to Twitter to appeal to the spectators to be careful when supporting cyclists from the roadside. Yesterday, a flag-waving supporter came dangerously close to Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard when he made his heroic attempt to win the yellow jersey on the last climb of the day, Col du Granon. The man’s flagpole came within 5-10 centimeters from coming into contact with the spokes on Vingegaard’s rear wheel, which made the Dane wave him away. Vingegaard leads the trip by more than two minutes, but it could have been very different if the flagpole had made contact. Another great mountain tape lures today.
Bornholm’s dystopian city – state future… according to a computer game
A new computer game, Born Punk, which takes place in the year 2155, depicts the Danish island of Bornholm as a dystopian city-state, where companies control the people with a heavy hand. Apparently the founder of the Australian producer Insert Disk 22 was married on Bornholm – and that’s how he reciprocates his gratitude! However, Allan Christophersen from the Royal Library views this positively. “We do not see many computer games based in Denmark, and I think this is the first time that Bornholm has been portrayed in a computer game,” he told DR.
