12:37 pm
thier through see. the firefighters at first were even e.m.t. things and then they became e m t's and for my understanding that a lot of firefighters pocket that maybe one of the many e.m.'s in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to be a mass and i started out want to just do firefighting and base told us go to three mt license i said i can hear you and you do it and i took an e.m.t.
12:38 pm
course and that's 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 high and it turned out that i thoroughly enjoyed the events aspect of it as well my job where it was that it started with any company making just five bucks an hour for about four years five years which a lot of us had to do. our fire code has played an important role in driving down the volume and spirit of fires and because that is the reality what we need is more ambulances. ten years ago we had half the analysts 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 what you want to family member to come with you to the hospital we want here no no. no here.
12:39 pm

12:40 pm
you're in a doctor's office today and she was concerned he had blood finally he had one before when you're pregnant there's pressure right now this morning we're increasing staff in and trying to find a room where there's never been a room like you know closets hallways things like that. sarge examine the hallways because about three times it's. discourteous the problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those best to take care of all the people who are here. we may have a hospital full of patients no beds upstairs where all patients in our yard because there's no beds upstairs and we do the best you can we're we can't turn them away. 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 that these people don't have
12:41 pm
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. rose crazy things are easier to rescue. my person or. rather. right right or be very. wrong. and see you way too much that your. what's worse i know that should read just me. to spank really. you can play it just makes little difference or whatever see your
12:42 pm
way or the right thing with your heart see what's going on right right now let's get into rhythm i want to make sure. we question but never take any sex lately and i think the last twenty four hours that in. terms of voting that intrigue me you know just on a more clear you know we're going to start ok high that sequence number in the spacious b. as in boy u two six six five four four six five he is now adamantly using the hospital there were rising on the wrists complication up to and including down. willing to accept those responsibilities. i was the hospital they want to speak with you. know the team by the on talk to. yeah. yeah there were.
12:43 pm
some people are just like that there you know they get a tree man they don't want to they don't want to go yeah we're locked up i'm at a point. and specialist but. a lot of times they don't have the medicine they can't get the. medicine they can afford the medicine or they sell it for other things. 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 a doctor over here so we're actually a doctor in a box if you will and our ambulance service. there are there are. not really. i make sure
12:44 pm
everybody stops and starts. to want to be more. just resigned ok we're going to hear martin luther king ok not that i know. you should go we're strongly recommending it we can't force you to go one have a good healthy baby right. let's go to hospital and i do you know fifty i know you . won't go to dinner who's a month and that you're as a family what you're going to have already let me do this is the first time bring him home with crack and yet she could meet contracting and just. as a young man to do this it was that i have an old you know goodness if she doesn't want to go with us well the worst possible case scenario is the baby can come out good and that's just being we're not going to sugarcoat it it's just being blunt i mean i'm going to have a look around her leaders have you had three and i pass it off so i'm not next
12:45 pm
project that you have i'm not. if you did yes i think that i have a woman think once you stand up and try to walk forth. like we can do that should blood pressure already. or you feel standing. clean. they are not telling you not to run the sweetie. so you need to do the right thing for your baby that's less goes to. ok ok ok we're going to go to martin luther king ok ok quest for the king is the greatest hospital partly right yes now they say that me and my baby it's like they are really missing that. this is proof that we're picking them up wrong was found was county supervisor. that opens the door a. little monday morning at eight o'clock this hospital be open to the patients. watson will broke in the south central area of los angeles county.
12:46 pm
wants was put on the map not only in california but the net but the nation now the world. in one thousand six hundred five because of the riots six days of rioting in a negro section of los angeles left behind the scenes from innocent of war torn city much of south central los angeles seem to be on fire up fire killing five unemployment or education and things like a lack of health care and. my growing commission said that the county must really hospital. just think that we had a section of los angeles county. over a third of a million citizens without adequate hospital care. when i transferred in more use of. true hospital was the e.r. facility it was a hospital it was
12:47 pm
a trauma hospital trauma it was open which was actually a pretty state of the art trauma and. i believe we were saying to in fifty. maybe even closer to fifty five fifty seven thousand a year in the main mercy department a lot of times we would get the diabetic and coma who knew something was wrong but didn't have the means to go to the doctor's office. again that goes to the problem that there are no primary care facilities in that area. a few years ago the county last year said a lot of clinics are awful people could go walk in off the street and see clinics when the county had a few bad budget years a few years ago they closed those clinics private clinics are going to open up and take under insured or patients who can't pay.
12:48 pm
and you don't have papers yes you have papers just permission how was your sugar level it's one hundred twenty eight. no it's four hundred that's very bad for your diabetes. because they can see that you had an appointment with the pharmacy a week ago why didn't you go. i did go. this is this is a free clinic the medicine is free you see me for free so why didn't you come this costs money. a lot of the patients here and all comply and they don't want to structure their never raise with structure of what the school you know never stuck with a layer. getting it so check your sugar two to three times a week don't use more not every day this is very expensive to not have insurance but this is where the money needs to go because the primary care why in this diabetic we prevent from getting we don't feel your heart attacks leg cut off you
12:49 pm
know because if they don't we see them on the streets and then two years later he ends up at l.a. county hospital you've got to treat it as if it cost five hundred thousand dollars separate if you miss your next appointment or any other appointment you can find a new clinic oh yes if i miss the appointment i can come back you know when. primary care nationally is a problem when it is and especially a problem here in los angeles county where do you go for primary care physicians first of all the country is not training enough for them.
12:50 pm
so we have a possible candidate for the program. mr mayor has been identified as so great when user she's been to. at least six times within the one year period we want to thank you for also the care management part of it in order to. help her keep her on it that you aren't having to come in ok to say mrs romero come to see my name is. i work with a program called road to house and to help the patient understand better how to use the medical system settings them out maybe. but if you are going to have a caseworker who is going to communicate with you often and they. lose them is that
12:51 pm
what you were telling me and how sometimes you have difficulty making appointments see ok so we are going to help you a little bit with that. oh my you know how can i help you know maybe if they didn't give me this mattson you do have to educate and empower patients to learn how to access care quickly and at the same time you can't do that if the system is not set up to be accessible if you're educating the patient to go down a road where the bridge is out and there's a fork in the road there's three different ways to go and you know which way to go that's not going to be very helpful. our vision is to improve access to care we want to give people access to the right care at the right time at the right place we need to incentivize financially our primary care providers our physicians this is your family medicine doctor that you go see for a cold but also the person who is most likely to diagnose you if you have cancer. and you know you have refills you know but they told me i shouldn't come back with
12:52 pm
al did prescription or the k. why. they wouldn't salad to me that's one thing we need to explain to the fish and i don't know the field. yes five years she's telling me that she gets it that's when i maybe see they're going to take it on and off i must. be sure be sure going for wellness will get together later for a lot of. their study it's never. going to be good for them or not. this. year. they're right. we have twenty eight. that are really interested in ok you guys are doing much better you're just about reach but margery's goal of what he wanted to have been a last resource on scene within six minutes you guys are holding down seven minutes flat however the best it's ever been and it was six for one for.
12:53 pm
the super necessary this gives you the facts. i had a doctor call me from a hospital but we rescued get there of no and he called me one evening any tells me that they couldn't take any more patients and their merger. so i asked him to explain exactly what he meant and he says we need to free our beds for our people and i said well which people are your people. the people that we're bringing them from these lower income areas aren't paying they don't have insurance they've got to get treated they've got to be seen. throughout paying you can't function as a hospital and that's why we've lost so many hospitals in our area. in los angeles told a lost just over five years we've had a lot in emergency rooms close and in most cases entire hospitals.
12:54 pm
if you give a map of the city and you put a little dock where the hospitals are and you put a dot we're all supposed to have yours and. wealthy british style. sometimes. markets find. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into gaza report on our. resistance politics but our culture.
12:55 pm
is couldn't get. through some. cultures of resistance on our t.v. . you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture.
