internet freedom on censorship and speaking out against the global and to paris and state governments will. attack the second part of a special report on how the los angeles fire fight has had to train rolls to become part of that excitement with us about. the orange dots show hospitals that are no longer here in the green dots represent those hospitals that are still in existence here what you don't see is any new hospitals because there are no 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
5:32 pm
that a so for sale and all they basically doing here is film movies now and i was shocked can believe that this is what's going on now you know it was a great hospital this is the last house but i was 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 shot out and i just happen to roll by and i caught a bulletin 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 lick they can help nobody else you know and somebody might not get that opportunity i got the right to
5:33 pm
keep and cheat mccurdy the middle said yeah that's. martin luther king it's not 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 able well pretty quickly so we're going to keep on two of the outlines of those. but it does mean is when the hospital to challenge you build don't fall they're going to challenge it because they're going to be overwhelmed at times the professional don't engage don't get angry when i hear judges do anything like that at least here to do work on the ship . around and you know questions i. the community had a nickname for ok and everybody knows it's called killer king we would get on scene in first thing people would ask is where might that be transported and if we said martin luther king you know often response was please don't take medicaid. they're understaffed underfunded and they had too many patients that didn't have
5:34 pm
private physicians and with four or five hundred patients in an emergency room it's very difficult to treat us 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 and martin luther king medical center to get ready for fewer services and a new way we cannot assure that patients would be saved 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'm thomas and it. kind of might be for him to suggest.
5:35 pm
that used to be a very simple system that would have took the every patient or 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 we are close to saturation when our waiting room is for when are all of our yard beds are for and we've got angeles lines waiting in the hallway and we're. basically closing to saturation for safety purposes you know the sort of suppress 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 we could be across the street from that hospital thinking a payment on it was not what you feel it and let them do it because you're going to tell yourself easy said. frank harbor you still. say fast is
5:36 pm
5:37 pm
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 out of the obvious that they think it's a problem of the uninsured of someone else he's got a worse an issue and there are injured actually just put it in there and spread all this way under here and you see something is interfering with the not ok ok so when you do this you can tell that it's not in attendance which is a really really bad infection. if it gets really good to ten is going to bone in his bone infection the worst soon are you can you know usually armed because we believe we're going to prevent that it's really going to feel good but none of us. have been in the hospital since 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 majestie standing aside we did say
5:38 pm
we're waiting six hours is not uncommon and if you go to surrounding hospitals people coming here tell me they're waiting twelve hours sometimes to get back however u.c.l.a. right now at this moment it's a twenty four hours meaning it seems you walk in the door and they try and figure out you're not critical basically or someone and they can definitely live for another couple of days before being credited 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 to and actually did all the payments off 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 and the lady in the hospital that's that's normal i've had a rescue a couple weeks and i 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 against a wall with a patient if they don't have bad you're going to wait and because even though we're
5:39 pm
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 can say you know what there goes 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 did you get last night four calls after midnight three out of the four calls we had were. people are just basic cold and flu symptoms civil the snow sniffles and nazia vomiting diarrhea and been sick for three four days. and just said uncle. smoke anything at all that you do. when the fire burns for twenty eight years and i came on as a single folksy firefighter when i came on the job. and back then we actually
5:40 pm
respond by four or five different types of e.m.'s cause responded on chest pain as heart attacks car accidents and drowned days if you called with a sprained 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 grow your own be on you for what's going on today they think that if you don't plan it will not cause you know. your are going on to say you know what happened to get in are you ready for this. well having. tough being anime. is easy and 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 their with their youngest and they have two houses this one another one down because. juncker never done that oh you know i remember one time. i think every time i guess.
5:41 pm
you could say he would get security for entering since you have six total resident sisters oh yeah hey jose everything's looking ok all right you can relax in the ok else we can do i'm a gator could be good. 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 and literally can you get a couple band-aids and i mean. look at the way it's called one hundred thirty. some of the programs 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 what do you tell. what are we have to do is i've given five dollars cable local calls.
5:42 pm
we've been called to you know broken sprinkler system the lawn to a dog and need the chimney you know second of all and 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 a percentage of people who actually know the system and it would jury people it's not weird if you know they're down i want because i truly need somebody to tell me what to do because this is their first room city have had to deal like ours we have a transportation policy on the farm and that we offer transportation to everybody on this it's a minor extremity injury since we've had that system which is in 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 to write the expense of the ripple effect of filling the spittal beds. with
5:43 pm
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 they can start small. perhaps a five dollars co-pay for an emergency visit. i think it will change behavior as
5:44 pm
well something happened be done the question is what. here we've closed hospitals in the last ten years and over a thousand donal's harvey burger king they contribute to the high blood pressure diabetes and everything else in the sense i mean if you could tax cigarettes. and we searched. for restaurants pay for some of the stuff. like. the doctor thought it would help you. got it. now. he's a diabetic or whatever it takes it's like two days or whatever he has said no and
5:45 pm
instantly he never wants to. take off and let me have a look at him every for sure he says you know we can't force him out and talk to him and not then we can then yes but not here because i know. we need someone who is this is all we need his permission to let my medics. know he's agreed to let. you know that if he doesn't want to. he's agree weren't taken aback. ok then you're welcome. i know you do you know what the best for him and i'm going to check it's starting to go searching teary. all that's right no he has no complaints you still find he's answering all or force questions appropriately. please let me finish and it should. there's well three it's within normal limits right there where you
5:46 pm
take his blood pressure after after that if there's nothing that he wants from us but 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 flow 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 response going up there are you know hospice it's. easy to miss their t.v. attachments in a 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 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 you know last week you know paramedic burnout talked about his
5:47 pm
area. guy from new york. paramedic paramedic burnout for greatness. in the field with this you know the shield is what it still does mean the other rescue at our station is available so they get the next cough which means we get the chance to take shower and pressure teeth so we don't get our showers interrupted jimmy page. and 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. know. we just take a patient to martin luther king with vomiting which gets triano just in the emergency room and based on her level of severity so good or bad. we got there before few other patients and she got a bad.
