Politics of Glucagon Rescue
Public awareness of other forms of life saving measures has increased dramatically in the past, such as:
- artificial respiration (or ‘mouth to mouth’)
- cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
- the Heimlich Maneuver, etc.
However, despite public relations to increase the awareness of the life saving capability of glucagon rescue, it is still largely unknown by the general public. An unfortunate example is seen in public school policy and some teachers' union contracts in the United States, which require that union teachers shall not be allowed to deliver glucagon or even be trained in administration of glucagon. This can only be due to the ignorance of glucagon as a life saving measure, as it would obviously be absurd to prohibit training and delivery of CPR or any other life saving first aid in a public school.

Famous quotes containing the words politics of, politics and/or rescue:
“Of course, in the reality of history, the Machiavellian view which glorifies the principle of violence has been able to dominate. Not the compromising conciliatory politics of humaneness, not the Erasmian, but rather the politics of vested power which firmly exploits every opportunity, politics in the sense of the “Principe,” has determined the development of European history ever since.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God,
Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.”
—Robert Robinson (1735–1790)
