a key factor in blizzards can hold us up and cause delays but it hasn't affected overall preparations in the resort it is now ready to host the world ski cup. despite bad weather delays were minimal and as the mountain skies cleared domestic competitions began in earnest to put facilities to the test the venues here on the slopes and bridges across napoli are now are undergoing this sternest examination yet the head of the two thousand and fourteen winter games for both the organizers and the athletes it's a perfect chance to fly in tune their routines ladies were the first to compete on the slopes for russia's downhill ski cup some compared the experience favorably with the two thousand and ten winter olympics in vancouver and then you know since they basically live peace here it can be compared to what i signed canada except there was ice in vancouver too which made it even more difficult but the overall conditions here are good. alexandra burke came out on the top of the competition she says smaller events like this one offer an important rehearsal before the main

event in sochi in two thousand and fourteen. and it's a chance to train more and will have the advantage in comparison to other skiers who only come here for the olympics with thirty kilometers of new posts and world class accommodation the organizers hope to make the test competition something together both spectators and athletes a lawyer but above all this experience is priceless for the salty two thousand and fourteen organizing committee that will use this competition as a dry run to give olympic preparations a boost then as well or ski sochi. staying with a sporting theme here on our table or rather a different kind of animal but adventure activity called the park or help eels to many two legged adrenalin junkies but it seems are also to some four legged ones as well as a dog in a western ukraine becoming a quick internet sensation artie's alexia share ski now reports. the two thousand

this merger of the amateurs already on the way. just tell me off the roof. it's about a twenty five foot tall. consumers think there's a god i think. i think until i see about the with the truth on the floor. on the human your toes notice me holding up a. tennis player. on the side. you know you don't act fast enough and get into the silly season and get in there fast and. take a deep breath. again. but i first came down here four years ago we were averaging nine fifty a day runners were averaging over twelve hundred thirty one hundred calls on runs

a day because i have first. got here. we handle six hundred thousand and were to see calls a year but the calls are on the him inside there's been an explosion in color it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire department is medical bills. that seven roger person said at thirty. seven fifty nine home is the address of your emergency is there any please that is there bleeding. heart i just don't know if you are the strong one you'd be ok i want to talk to her rescue operations for me is that i want you to come around the right are you there with the right now you are ok listen very carefully embers already on the way what i need to find out from you right now is she conscious conscious beings awake the rising demand for ema services increasing every year are you nuts runs are going up two percent and hospitals are closing in the last four years about ten hospitals close so it's less

and less hospitals thruster take over five hundred seventeen patients every day the rest you get there they evaluate your situation and it's been referred to as a perfect storm in the county of los angeles just getting bigger and bigger in this there's no no relief in sight if you're having a health crisis you'd like to think you can count on getting quick treatment in a hospital emergency rooms across the country today many emergency rooms were packed e.r. visits have grown thirty two percent in the last decade but there are seven percent fewer emergency rooms from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe you know and what's happening in the city of los angeles and in southern california is ground zero for what we're seeing nationwide with the crisis with emergency services. and the inpatient beds per capita lowest in the country and what we've seen recently is the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire

department and because we become the de facto health care system. this is the canary in the mauling of health care throughout the united states and outstanding thank you. for all of their. quarterly statistical information this is to get stuff right here oh yeah. mr kamber you miss anthony. kurdish. eight hundred twenty seven. john. but the look was a real popular. vote for the shortness of breath the case it was still really breathing for all those the number one to call the. station sixty five is in the south los angeles area of our city. they actually have to paramedic rescues down

there one of our busiest engine companies we have in the city of los angeles and unfortunately can't keep personnel that long there are they come there they gather a lot of experience in a relatively short period of time and they want to go on to a better place. before. they say yes. thier three x. . firefighters at first were even e m t's and then they became e m t's and from my understanding it's a lot of firefighters pocket that maybe one of the e.u. mass in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to do me

a mass and i started out want to just do firefighting and they told us go to three mt license i said i think you know theory and you can do it and i took an e.m.t. course and i thought all right i'll do it took the class just to get the license to try to get hired i was only thing i was planning on doing it was just using the license to get high and it turned out that i thoroughly enjoyed your miss aspect of it as well my job where it was that it started with an us company making those five bucks an hour for about four years five years which a lot of us had to do. i think. our fire code has played an important role in driving down the volume and spirit of fires and because that is the reality that we need is more ambulances. ten years ago with half the evidence is that we have now we know now we have all of them some medical services

in the city of los angeles. from the time you dial nine one one here in our dispatch center tell the time you get to the hospital it's one service the one you want to family member to come with you to the hospital we want him to know. that if. you. go see this lady. and. leave him know this. there are emergency room is very important. we see about three thousand patients a month through demurred city park but. we had a day the other day where we saw hundred ten in one day and it was exciting and your name is stephanie said just reach your sorry buddy to late you looking for

a thing or my mom ok i've had a lot of pain and it's laying it's where my legs get now in the news it's that you are in a doctor's office today and she was concerned he had blood by the way he had one before you're pregnant there's a pressure right now so when you were increasing staffing and trying to find a room where there's never been room like you know closets hallways things like that. starting examining the hallways and bridges about three times it's. personal there. are certain things the problem is not enough in-patient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those that has to take care of all the people who are here. we may have a hospital full of patients no beds upstairs where all patients are equally are because there's no beds upstairs and we do the best we can we're we can't turn them

away. and we have a federal law that mandates that if you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. in the wee ality is that these people don't have primary care physicians that they can call so you're going to end up in the emergency room and i think that if we had a system where everyone had access to care they would this would not be happening because they would they would call their doctor. the rest listen to please the rest. but personally. rather. than. a problem.

ensued and weeks and months to yours. what's worse i know the sort of breath just being there for this bank really. to display just need to look different and will receive you well for the granting of your heart she was going all right right now let's do it with your rhythm i want to make sure you. are very question but you haven't taken any such leniency drugs in the last twenty four hours that you are ok . oh no i feel sorry for believing that the treatment you do not just on a more clear you know work in his heart ok high that sickness number on this patients b. as in boy u two six six five four four six five he is now adamantly refusing the hospital there were rising on the wrists complication up to and including down. he's willing to accept those responsibilities. i'm so the hospital i want to speak

with you. know the team by the on talk to. yes hello. yes who are. some people are just like that you know they get the tree man the mid on they don't want to go yeah we're locked up i'm at the point. as specialist but. a lot of times they don't have the medicine they can't get the medicine they can't afford the medicine or they sell it for other things. but this is it up and take it back to the doctor. so because of that a lot of them tell us more primary care than fresh somebody sees. for individuals don't have access to health care or ambulance to show up with our paramedics on there and that's it that's the closest thing those people see to the doctor over here so we're actually a doctor in

a box if you will and i remember the service. there are going to. really. make sure everybody stops and. you want to be more. just resigned ok we're going to hear martin luther king ok they're not going to go . you should go we're strongly recommending it we can't force you to go when i have a good healthy baby right here that's going to hospital they need over fifty. you know you need to you know only go you know who's a mom or not right you know as a family what you're going to have. to let me do this is her first time bring him home with crack and yeah and she could meet contracting and just not think. as a young man to do this it was that it was you know great listen if she doesn't want
