is published a list of initiatives on the web divided into groups that everyone can be a part of public discussions and online votes are the key instruments and letters have been sent to all presidential candidates asking them to cooperate with the league and even though the project is less than a month old everyone has so far agreed including pledging little to another candidate businessman mikhail prokhorov has already struck a deal with the leak years ago and willing to authorize one hundred fifty thousand league observers was also arranged to put together a unified database to keep the check on the election points because according to its founders around ten thousand observers are needed to ensure a fair election in moscow alone. it's great that the civil society wants to be more active but it's clearly important not to cross the line and observers not only are positioned it is serious so for the mutations not to take sides in the political

o'clock i suppose till about the twelve thirty three engine six five and rescue two six by. people going you guys that know you got. the better going on. i know you got it all right you didn't say anything so much i mean when you are not right now going right up to them but you know what i'm going to get. there are aware of. this merger of the amateurs already on the way. out is telling the truth. it's about a twenty five foot tall. consumers think that there's

a lot of things that i think i know i'll see about the way through on the floor. particularly your job numbers and the whole thing ok. let's get. lucky. 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. over average you know it well under thirteen hundred calls i run today there could well have first. got yes. we handle six hundred thousand

and we're to see calls a year but the calls are on the inside there's been an explosion in color it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire department is medical at seven roger around hitler did i give a discontinuation never saw him at home is the address of your emergency here or is there any please is there believing. i just don't believe you are the strong one year deal kay i want your time her rescuer emotions running high and say i want to know our medical records are you there with the right now your ok listen very carefully and it's 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 nice 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 for us to take our five hundred seventeen patients every day the rest you get there they evaluate your situation has been referred to as the 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 if you know 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 have 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 the big stuff right here oh yeah. mr chambre you miss incident. kurdish. eight hundred twenty seven. john. but the look was a real popular. vote for the shortest route for 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 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. people will. still be a. thief three x. . firefighters at first were even e.m.t. and then they became e m t's and from my understanding it's a lot of firefighters pocket that maybe one of the many e.m.'s in fact when i started my venture as 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 get your empty license i said i can't hear you and can't 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 a license to try to get hired i was only thing i was planning on doing it was just using the license to get out and it turned out that i thoroughly enjoyed the events aspect of it as well with my job where it was that it started with an ambulance 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 now we have all of them see 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 you're. here. because this. is. really cool and you know. 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 the late you looking for a thing or my mom ok i've had a lot of pain and it's laying where my legs get now in the news it's that

you're in a doctor's office today and she was can certainly have blood by the way he had one before you're pregnant there's a pressure right now so when you were increasing the staff in and trying to find a room where there's never been room like you know closets hallways there's like a. sardine exam in the hallway that we could use about three times yes. ursula there. is her kindness the problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to members that to take care of all the people who are here. we may have a hospital full of patients no beds upstairs were patients in our yard 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 you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an

emergency room. the reality is 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. rescue researchers for using a rescue. like person i love or. rather . right right very. wrong. really sees a way too much that we are. what we're saying now that sort of breath just being

there for this bank really. because playing it just makes little difference or whatever so you went for the great thing with your heart he was going all right right now let's do it with your rhythm i want to make sure for you. very question but never take any sex leniency drugs in the last twenty four hours that you are ok . to feel sorry for the you know to treat me you know just on a more clear you know work in his heart ok high that sickness number on those patients b. as in boy you 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 i'm . willing to accept those responsibilities. i miss the hospital i want to speak with you. know the team by the on talk to.

yeah hello. yeah i feel good. some people are just like that you know they get the tree man they don't want to they don't want to go yeah a lot of the point. as precious 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 that so. 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 emergencies. 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 the doctor over here so we're actually a doctor in a box if you will and our ambulance service. there are going to. i'm not really. i make sure
