When seconds count, EMS makes life saving decisions based in the world of reality with uncontrolled environments.
As a Fire Captain with over 25 years of Fire/EMS experience, I have seen the field of medicine evolve and improve in vast strides from Pre-Hospital Care to long term care facilities and rehabilitation centers. The likelihood of surviving a CVA (Stroke) or M.I. (Heart Attack) today is higher than a decade ago due to better education, training, and technology.
Even with advances in the medical field, we need to help people make the right choices for them by using proper education, never forcing a decision based on fear.
Healthy diets and exercise will greatly improve one's life expectancy.
Even with the best Healthcare Education and Medicine in the world, we need to make emergency preparedness a priority. As a Health & Safety Instructor, I am the only candidate that has trained over 10,000 people in CPR & 1st Aid. We need to start hosting large scale events to reach those that will be most impacted in case of a natural disaster or act of terrorism.
