    My daughter lives in Maryland. Schools, fire, police are all county based. System works very well and the taxpayers get the advantage of lower taxes.  I have been saying for years that this system should be used in New York. However, I know this will never happen. Politics wins again over common sense.

    St Joes in Yonkers told us to stop calling years ago- unless the pt is intubated.
    Also many ED's have a BLS notification line. Use it. Waay better then the radio. And when you hang up, look at the call timer. More than a minute, and you are too chatty.
    Examples:
    Adult male slip and fall, immobilized.
    Elderly female, fell from bed, poss hip Fx.
    Child stung by bee, Hx of allergy. Epi pen given, distress cleared.
    Bicycle hit by car, multiple Fx and a closed head injury. No LOC, fully alert, breathing well, helmet was on.

    Condolences to Dr. D's family. He was truly one in a million. This is a great loss to all especially the EMS community.
