12:33 pm
i do everything i'm independent and it's for these feet and legs they help nobody else you know somebody might get that opportunity i got the right to keep and cheat mccurdy. i never said that martin luther king is going to be a complete closure but that capacity is going to change from one hundred forty some bit stiction forty thousand beds in france will be up around pretty quickly it's all going to keep on top of the hour on this was. going to be just one hospital to challenge you to go out there we fall to the challenge and these are going to be overwhelmed at times any professional going gauge and getting angry when i hear a judge you do need more power you shouldn't be running. around and you're questions i. the community had a big day for ok and everybody knows it's called killer k. we would get on cd and first thing people would ask is where am i going to be
12:34 pm
transported and if we said martin luther king here often response was please don't take your case. they're understaffed underfunded and they have too many patients that didn't have private physicians and with four or five hundred patients in emergency rooms for a difficult the trio of those into the hospital through medical center is in critical condition and the cantor was in the bottom two and a half percent of all hospitals in the state of california health officials a patient there had been put in quote and media jeopardy patients are parked on the medical center to get ready for fewer services and a new way we cannot assure that patients will be safe or that fundamental hospital standards can be met a proposed closure of the trauma center will have an impact the l.a. county fire department i'm begging of you don't ignore this. don't marginalize this . war crime tell me that.
12:35 pm
my. psychiatrist. used to be a very simple system the took every patient to the closest facility but you close ten hospitals with eight beds it means has eighty patients out of our system in the city didn't look well let's say it's worse we close our doors three we are close to saturation and when our waiting room is four went on all of our yard beds are for angeles friends waiting in the hallway and on. basically causing saturation for certain purposes you know the sort of suppressed right so diversion is a huge thing for some of our hospitals down here they're on diversion about ninety
12:36 pm
percent of the time some ninety percent of time we're looking for another hospital we could be across the street from the hospital to get. washed out where you feel it let them do it. it was. easy. for a harbor u.c.l.a. by saturday to say fasts the staff are going to kaiser bellflower be the son of the work place for a hospital or it's about a ten mile from all right however we are no and there's a lot of traffic so. a
12:37 pm
bit of. a. so but average american who has insurance they don't realize the impact of what's going on down what's going on obviously that's a problem of the sharing of someone the palettes worst initial injury actually just whatever you're there to spread all this when. you see something certainly cannot ok ok so when you do this you can tell this is not in attendance which is a really really bad infection if it gets ruled that it could really can and i don't you're going to do bone infection the worst sort or you can you know usually arm it's really going to prevent that it's really going to give you good. care of you.
12:38 pm
i've been in the hospital says to about a night just what is it six o'clock right now six fifteen it one hundred sure just a good thing you know i mean have insurance actually matters to be standing aside maybe they'd say we're waiting six hours is not uncommon and if you go treats running hospitals people coming here tell me they're waiting twelve hours sometimes to get back however you see a way right now at this moment it's a twenty four hours meaning as soon as you walk in the door and atria as you figure out you're not critical basically you're someone and they can definitely live for another couple of days before being credited but keep in the waiting room and you have to sit there and wait to be seen. it has happened at certain hospitals i've got to and they actually did all of human suffering and we just waited so we're missing calls in our district because our he's tied up at the hospital because you know how did that patient. with the did lady in the hospital that's that's normal
12:39 pm
had to rescue a couple weeks ago waited four hours for the i've waited sometimes three hours i was at c c francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes staring at the wall of patients and their beds are going to wait and because even though we're inside here you know we're still on scene with that patient if we if we leave the hospital and don't transfer care to a bed it's negligence or even a county to say you know what it was your paramedic license you're gone the river here if we don't have a paramedic i said we do a back to the firefighter only. so how many calls to get last night four calls of them in three out of the before calls we had were people just basic cold and flu symptoms sniffle and. sniffles and nausea vomiting diarrhea and been sick for. it's three four days and just don't call. smoke anything at all that we do.
12:40 pm
when the fire burned for twenty eight years and i came on as a single ferocious firefighter when i came on the job. and back then we actually only respond by four or five different types of the m. s. calls responded on chest beating heart attacks car accidents and drowned is if you called with a spring from or a broken finger the dispatcher back then told you to get a car to go to the hospital so a lot is changed. take all your life be on you for what's going on today they don't find it hard to feel right now. yes you're right i want to say you know what happened to get in are really just a. couple of hundred. off denying to me. is easy and you've been here before yeah yeah i've been here a few times she asked me five or six times over the last year been the mom the
12:41 pm
mother the grandmother the son and the twins and her when she was pregnant with her with her youngest in a few houses this one another one down if you're. younger you're thinking that oh you know i don't remember the one time. i think every time. you can say you would feel secure with pretty interested yes six told residents sisters oh yeah. everything's looking ok all right you can relax ok i also didn't i mean good it could be good. i will see your letter every day. a good education i think it's part i mean everything's understanding what emergency is different but i mean people been called out for a band-aid he didn't at all we are in a system that they can call and literally to get a couple band-aids and i mean. get the word. it's called a longer story that. some of the programs that we do slant to we have things such
12:42 pm
as boyle's can't sleep they're hungry constipation toothpaste but if somebody says they're hungry what do you tell. what are we have to do is i mean five dollars people can also. be called to you know broken sprinkler system the lawn to a dog and need the chimney. for what is old and has a cause on which it makes itself but at the same time it's like. where you draw the line yeah you're always going to have good percentage of people who actually know the system and it would tory people is not the we're here to literal and i want to really truly need somebody to tell me what to do because this is their first move so we're going to do right we have a transportation policy on a farm and that we are the transportation to everybody on this it's a minor instrument essentially since we've had that system which has been about the last five years because lawsuits down to nothing that's paid for itself.
12:43 pm
experience. to the taxpayers is the expense of the individual who wants to write the expense of the ripple effect of filling the little beds. with non-critical patients. i know gas prices are high but. i know i can get to the local emergency room for a lot cheaper in my own personal vehicle if i have the flu and the insurance company will look at that and say well we're paramedics really warranted on this and then they will pay and then the citizens get stuck with a bill. i really do believe that every patient should pay something for their care because one of the problems we also have in this country is that health care is not valued we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least people are going to have to begin to take
12:44 pm
responsibility for their health care. pay something they can start small. perhaps a five dollar co-pay for an emergency visit i think it will change behavior as well . something happened down the question into what. here we've closed hospitals in the last ten years more than over a thousand donal's harvey burger kings they contribute to the high blood pressure diabetes and everything else in the sense i mean if you get a tax cigarettes. and we search. for restaurants pay for some of the stuff.
12:45 pm
like. the dark side it will help you. just gotta go now how can we help if he's a diabetic or whatever it takes is one thousand days of whatever he had to say no if he never wants that. sally's take off and let me have everything back as he says no we can't force him out and talk to him and not then we can then yes but not here this is just i know. we need someone who is this is autistic we need his permission to let my medics. know he's agreed to let. blood pressure he doesn't want to sell for sort of goes with the big news agree were taken aback when i check in certain ok then you're welcome salad hours i know you don't want the best for him. i'm going to check and start to go searching teary.
12:46 pm
to see that you can afford all that stuff right now here is no complaints your city feels fine he answered all or push questions appropriately. please let me finish and it sure is one three it's within normal limits there were upset. his blood pressure after after that if there's nothing that he wants from us right unfortunate just nothing else that we could do for him by law ok i'm yeah we do get frustrated and it's only us but it's the mayor says in the hospital it's also the doctors i've seen them just blow up you know like why i say this person every day for the last ten days why are they here again you know when you see a patient i got a response one of their responses. mostly miss thirty from the incident six nine three. it's time to get to a lot of. personnel down here and i'm pretty sure it's. seven california is not. the only area where it's happening can't find where it's coming from different
12:47 pm
states want to apply to have a city and paramedics are experiencing the same thing i had a guy from here just in the last week paramedic burnout talk about his hearing. a graph from new york. paramedic paramedic. for greatness. in the field with the field but still there's a but still does mean that the other rescue at our station is available so they get the next cough which means we get a chance to take shower and fresher teeth and we don't get our showers interrupted jimmy page so that. you know all these rescues here they're probably going to waiting for a while because i think you just got the last available that that's what i. want you. know. we just take a patient to martin luther king with bombing which gets triano just in the
12:48 pm
emergency room and based on their level of severity so good ok. we got there before a few other patients and she got to bed now the other patients are going to wait you know they might have more. severe problems they might have to wait for a bed for hours. if martin luther king you know even if they just limit their number of beds which they're planning on doing to forty two beds then that's going to be repercussions for everybody so. hopefully it won't get to the point where it's going to be affecting patient care to the point where people are going to be waiting for such long times that they're not going to be getting treated as they should so we'll see what happens. yeah he was actually right check out of the pool and the passenger. there is no one in the room to this we are the county hospital for the poor and yet we're the trauma center for
12:49 pm
everyone on the south bay area of los angeles. so it makes no difference if you have the best insurance in the world or no insurance the next time you're in a traffic accident if god forbid we have an earthquake or bioterrorist attack we are the place you want to come we're the place you're going to be proper garbus where you want to come and if we're overcrowded have no gurneys you're going to be in trouble you're not going to get the kind of care that you deserve. it's not the train wrecks that really scares and keep us up at night it would scares us and keeps this up at night is that essentially a pandemic flu it will take about. twelve hours before every hospital year is over while. if i wanted to go at risk if it hurt. well by the said immunity emergency room there's nothing we can do for you you're the emergency room right now. well can't they help me there dmards zero.
12:50 pm
a lot of times they think oh no i want you to take us in the ambulance because we'll be seen faster in the e r. but. the emergency room wasn't being transported from one aspect of the other because you know years like hollywood present here is where you want to go to kaiser now. there's a little you can do it. now when one was was. was a tool that was developed and like any tool you if you don't have a set of instructions along with the tool is going to be your misuse and abuse and eventually it will break.
12:51 pm
i am a man. caught up in water from. the metal detectors you're already at the hospital in a moment with my name i'm trying to get it interpreter for you certainly movement known in the world yesterday by one of the birds here clean. and young boy determined him to warn them in the bed it was all day of the emergency room of my life is good but is dying and then there was no one else brought altaic but he came by it on again about the obama the new blood ok and why aren't you helping our health care to watch it or did you not do it if you need to watch it or ok to be to contact a nurse or to have to let them know comedy lines they don't believe they're not
12:52 pm
going to let him in if you cause a problem if you contact the county police cockers added the curate that there was no doubt medics are not going to pick him up park it by a parked car bhatkal coached already asked. why does he want a. working version post-polio available ground zero is when the person who will want to look over the phone with all of us when i was playing my last quarter. were at the gathering with want to go to a meeting premium cable network that is ok but there was a medical worker you're a doctor. asked the man i want my family i care not for you for the quality of the hospital they're your champagne just like i want to use for purposes only about everybody it's out of the word man if it is not under the law that maybe they're ok
12:53 pm
well that's not a criminal thing the at the bank contract on the bike ok let them go up we have a good look at this mine i want to use for your purpose only where i live. it is not. a hit. after that incident we actually have a chanst are actually not in the e.r. but in the ward where they're not getting timely treatment in the world they want more pain medication don't pick up the phone and dial nine one one so we're sending
12:54 pm
the message happen out to the eighteenth floor of the hospital to provide more pain medication for patients inside there. no you want us to have. our firefighters paramedics are incredible i mean they're you know we think that we're constantly doing training and more training more training and they stepping up to fill that gap but is that what we want as a society that for the fire department to become the health care system. a big part of the fix is more primary preventive care with the people with diabetes and high blood pressure in treated early then they don't come in here with heart attacks and strokes. then you have learned that it feels like you know a lot of. really bad cookery not yaquis you love in an ideal world for us need to open up those county clinics and so we have some place where individuals will walk into before they become in crisis or need to actually know i'm on service
12:55 pm
i do it all comes down the phones were good it's a catch twenty two situation so what we did here for our season sixty five you've managed to more rescues that we can put in place if things get really bad which they do a lot here. is it a band-aid yes but it's. the banding we have right now to serve everybody in this community. going to.
