a snow covered field. track and because of the need to get charles to discuss any fear it will push. off. just like a roller coaster week down the slide fortunately we have lots of space on the frozen river. terrified by being amazingly it was it was good and it was scary to start with but it was a really really enjoyable experience tell me it's the middle of the frozen wrist and when you come here to moscow and i wanted to experience i think totally different and we thought why not come to moscow when it's going to be really cold and for exactly what it is and it has been amazing if you're wrapped you know absolutely fine because in the u.k. when it gets what. the temperature is you know in the winter. feels different it

does i don't think people dress properly in the u.k. for the cold weather but here you kind of wear extra tights long johns big hat gloves and you're absolutely fine we went ice skating yesterday in gorky park and it was the most fantastic experience but we really will amid the tree lights on it was really lovely i don't think people realise how exciting it is here is absolutely fantastic and we've just had the best time i recommend anyone coming it's brilliant. i know for the first time we go he park i was rubbish it was good it's amazing people here just embrace this this weather the seasons and they just you know they're passionate about it and celebrate it whereas in the u.k. but it's not and everyone just. starting over and everything's closed and you know they want yeah but here it's just you know people just get on with life and to sit just go on live how you know live and work how they have to

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom or welcome to the big picture. culture is that so much given to each musician to find the mark when the feet up and the battle for syria the international community is as divided as the syrians themselves when it comes to resolving a situation. this

is. the first.

if you just joined us for a while and this is all to live here in moscow with you twenty four hours a day top stories now in this hour a split within the ranks of syria's opposition fighters at first they claimed they were behind twin blasts in the country's largest city of aleppo which killed at least twenty eight people but another spokesman denied responsibility just an hour later. thousands of greeks lash out against more planned cuts as police used tear gas to disperse crowds people are angry lawmakers budget second feiss after eurozone leaders put more bailout cash on hold six ministers have also quit over

the deal. and russia's public figures come together to ensure a fair and free presidential vote by forming the poaches lee to monitor elections that challenge now is to stay impartial. to bring it up to date for the moment more news stories in half an hour from now in the meantime the second part of a special report on how the los angeles firefighters had to change roles to become paramedics. the orange dots show hospitals that are no longer here in the green dots represent those hospitals that are so big that what you don't see is a need to new hospitals constructed in this area. if you look at this area from a health planning standpoint. that medical desert is the. day

i came to try to get some medical records in and security said it's close i couldn't believe it was closed down well when i went in the security guard told me that a so for sale and all they basically doing here is fill movies now and i was shocked can't believe that this is was going on now you know it was a great hospital this is the last house but i was in in two thousand and two when i got shot. it was a sunday afternoon around twelve o'clock in just two cars came in and it was a big shoot out and i just happen to roll by and i caught a bullet yeah hit my spine i came to my legs i'm paralyzed you know if it wasn't for the people that were here i don't think i would have made it the way i made it because that was a little kid i was seventeen years old when this happened to me i go to school and i go to college you know and if it wasn't for them i went forward i even drive now i do everything i'm independent and it's for these people and leg they can help

nobody else you know and somebody might not get that opportunity i got the right to keep and cheat mccurdy the middle said yeah that's. martin luther king it's going to be a complete closure but the capacity is going to change from one hundred forty some beds to actually forty two beds so france will be alone pretty quickly so we're going to keep on top of the outlines of those. but it does mean is when the hospital to challenge you bill don't be fooled they're going to challenge you because they're going to be overwhelmed at times be professional don't engage don't get angry when i hear judge you do need market research here to do of the shop. around and you know questions i. the community had to make a name for ok and everybody knows it's called killer king we would get on scene in first thing people would ask is where am i going to be transported and if we said mark was u.k. you know often their response was please don't take medicaid. they're understaffed

underfunded and they have too many patients a didn't have private physicians and with four or five hundred patients in an emergency room it's very difficult to treat as those into the hospital through medical center is in critical condition and the candor was in the bottom two and a half percent of all hospitals in the state of california health officials say patients there had been put in quote and media jeopardy patients and martin luther king medical center to get ready for fewer services and a new day we cannot assure that patients would be safe or that fundamental hospital standards can be met the 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 . warrant i promise and i can tell. you something like for him to suggest i.

used to be a very simple system that would have you took the every patient in the closest facility but you close ten hospitals with eight beds in a major that's eighty patients out of our system in the city she didn't look well when she came in sat scores we close our doors here you are close to saturation when our waiting room is for when are all of our in our beds or for angelus lines waiting in the hallway and we're. basically closing to saturation for safety 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 percent of the time so ninety percent of the time we're looking for another hospital and we could be across the street from that hospital thinking

a payment was not where you go with it and let them do it because you're going to tell yourself easy said. frank harbor u.c.l.a. by saturday same fast as a sad and they're going to kaiser flowery the sun up on the work place for hospital work it's about a ten mile from our ride however we are in l.a. and there's a lot of traffic so. you know. they're going to. a bit of them

here. they're getting. better and. for the average american who has insurance they don't realize the impact of what's going on. let's call it on the obviously they think it's a problem of the uninsured of someone else he's got a worse an issue and there are injured ashley just put it in there and spread all this we're going to hear you say something is interfering with the not ok ok so when you do this you can tell that it's not in attendance which is are we really bad infection. if it gets really good intended going to bone in his bone infection the worst soon or you can you know usually armed it's really bad we're going to prevent that that's really going to make you feel good but none of us here. have been in the hospital says two o'clock and not just what is it six o'clock right now

six fifteen. if you have insurance just a good thing you know finally have insurance ok maginnis to be standing outside maybe they'd say we're waiting six hours is not uncommon and if you go to surrounding hospitals people come in here tell me they're waiting twelve hours sometimes to get back however you still in right now at this moment it's a twenty four hours meaning as soon as you walk in the door and they try and figure out you're not critical basically you're someone and they could definitely live for another couple of days before being critical they'll keep you in the waiting room and you have to sit there and wait to be seen. it has happened at certain hospitals i've gone and actually did all the team itself again and we just waited so we're missing calls in our district because our he's tied up at the hospital because they don't have a bed to put that patient in but they did a lady in the hospital that's that's normal i've had to rescue a couple weeks and waited four hours for being i've waited sometimes three hours i

was it's a same francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes standing as all the patients there have beds you're going to wait and because even though we're inside there 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 the county to say you know what there goes your paramedic license and 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 after midnight three out of the four calls we had were people just basic cold and flu symptoms sniffle snow sniffles and nausea vomiting diarrhea and been sick for three four days. and just said uncle. smoke anything at all that he did.

when the fire broke for twenty eight years and i came on as a a single function firefighter when i came on the job. and back then we actually respond by four or five different types of v.m.s. calls responded on chest pains heart attacks car accidents and drowned it was if you called with a spring thumb or a broken finger the dispatcher back then told you to get the car to go to the hospital so a lot has changed. take probably your be on you for what's going on today and they think that if you don't find it one half aren't doing enough yet you're right going on to say you know what happened. in our brothers sisters. oh ok. cough banana me. season you've been here before you have been here a few times you asked me five or six times over the last year found a mom to be a mother a grandmother the son and the twins and her when she was pregnant with

a litter of youngest and they have two houses this one another one down because. young hickory earlier that day oh you know i don't remember the one time. i think every ten miles you can stay here would skip security for entering since you have six total resident sisters on radio that everything's working ok all right you can relax and you ok also didn't i make it or could be good then. i will see going to later have a good day. a good station i think huge part i mean everybody's understanding what emergency is different but i mean people been called out for a bandaid thinking that all we are is you know a system that they can call in literally to get a couple band-aids and i mean. get the where is called long or short. these are some of the protocols that we do send to we have things such as boyle's can't sleep they're hungry constipation to think but if somebody says they're hungry would you

tell me what are we have to do if i give you five dollars cable local calls. we've been called to you know broken sprinklers on the lawn to a dog and the chimney you know stuck in a hole in what is old and had to cause it always makes it all fun at the same time it's like. where do you draw the line yeah you're always going to have the percentage of people who actually know the system and it was a jury of people that's not with him right now they're down i want because we truly need somebody to tell him what to do because this is their first room so they've had to deal with it we have a transportation policy on the farm and we offer transportation to everybody on this it's a minor extremity injury since we've had that system which has been about the last five years because lawsuits down to nothing it's paid for itself. at the expense. to the taxpayers of the expense of the individual who wants the right at

the expense of the the ripple effect of filling the spittal 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 wow 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 responsibility for their health care. pay something it can start small.

perhaps a five dollar co-pay for an emergency visit. i think it will change behavior as well something happen be done the question is what. here we've closed hospitals in the last ten years and over a thousand. burger kings they contribute to the high blood pressure diabetes and everything else in the sense i mean if you could tax cigarettes. and we certainly. paid for some of the stuff. the doctor thought it would help you. got it. now. if he's

a diabetic or whatever it takes it's like two days or whatever he has said no. he never wants to. take off and let me have to look at him every for sure he says you know we can't force him out and talk to him and nothing we can say and yet not here this is just i know. we need so many with this is our it's that we need his permission to let my medics. know he's agreed to let. you know that he doesn't want to force her out of the you know. he's a great weren't taken aback. ok thank you you're welcome. i know you do you want the best for him and i'm going to check and start searching teary. all that stuff right you know he has no complaints you feel fine he's answering all

our forces questions appropriately. please let me finish and it should. as well three it's within normal limits right there where you take his blood pressure after after that if there's nothing that he wants from us right unfortunately there's nothing else that we can do for him by law ok i'm yeah we do get frustrated and it's only us but it's the nurses in the hospitals it's also the doctors i've seen them just you know like why i see this person every day for a last ten days why are they here again you know when you see a patient they got a response going to the hospice it. mostly missed their t.v. attachments in a six nine three. i did start 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 now firefighters coming from different states who want to apply to have

a city and the paramedics are experiencing the same thing i had a guy from houston last week you know paramedic burnout talk about his area. guy from new york. paramedic paramedic burnouts go through three big issues. in the field with the field but still there's a that still doesn't mean the other rescue at our station is available so they get the next cough which means we get the chance to take a shower and pressure to eat so we don't get our showers interrupted jimmy page that. you know all these rescues here we're probably going to be waiting for a while because i think we just got the last available that that's i got that one i . want you to. ok. we just take a patient to martin luther king with vomiting which. just in the emergency room and based on her levels.
