Emergency Room Coordinator There has been much written and said in recent weeks about Cleveland County’s Emergency Medical Service (EMS) System. For years the service was provided by dedicated, self-sacrificing volunteers who did a good job. Over the years, the field of Emergency Medicine has made tremendous strides forward, so that now, what can be done for a critically ill patient has increased tremen- dously, especially if provided by well-trained profes- sionals. The highest training level that these profes- sionals can obtain is called an Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P). These people can, from the order of a physician, start life-saving IV’s, start vital airways into the upper airway of a critical patient, and even give certain medications. All of “these pro- cedures can result in the difference between life and death in many people. This training takes one or two years of schooling and requires continuing education each year that takes many hours. Cleveland County does not have this service, although every county that surrounds us either has the service or is currently progressing towards it. These employees are paid by the county and have several bases scattered throughout their county to provide quick response to emergencies. There are many people here in this county who oppose this fine service, most of these people are in- volved in the existing volunteer rescue squads, who fear that their squads will ceased to exist or to be less as im- portant if a county-wide professional EMT-P service is started. In reality, in counties where the Paramedic ser- vice exists, the volunteer rescue squads continue to exist, and even flourish, because of the added availability of continued education, and on-going need for expert assistance in emergency cases. At the present time, the county Board of Commis- sioners is studying the feasibility of establishing this county-wide Paramedic service. As always, these politi- cians need to know where their constituents stand. Do the voters of the county want this new and improved Emergency Medical Service which will cost more money, or are they satisfied with the volunteer squads as they exist now without the ability to do much more than simply transport a patient to the hospital? Please let your commissioner know your position by writing letters or calling him or her. This article will be my last that readers will be seeing in this paper as I will soon be moving to another state to do more training in Emergency Medicine for three more years. I have enjoyed imparting this information on to you all and hope people have been helped by some of the articles. : Please refer any questions or comments regarding this article or past articles to Dr. Lawrence Leake, Kings Mountain Hospital Emergency Room.
