Emergency Medical Services, known as EMS first responders, save lives every day. That’s why they are being honored as part of National EMS Week.
Rain or shine, in the mud or dirt, EMS first responders are there prepping us for what is next at the hospital.
Today, they got a break from their hectic work life enjoy some burgers and hot dogs. EMS personnel get everything started in the field.
From IVs, to getting patients out of their houses, Tuesday was a day of thanks because without them doctors and physicians would have much more difficult jobs.
Amery Robinson, an emergency physician at St. Luke’s says, “A lot of times by the time they have got people here to the emergency department their pain is better, their breathing is better. It just makes our job a lot easier in terms of getting them either back home and healthy or into the hospital in a more stabilized condition”.
