about a twenty five foot tall. consumer thing there is a lot of things. i think i know i'll see about the way through on the floor. on the human here till next week the whole thing ok. let's clear. that. you know we don't act fast enough to get into the silly season and get in there fast and. take a deep breath. again. but i first came here four years ago we were averaging nine fifty a day. ever average you know it well under thirty one hundred calls i run today there could well have first. got yes. we handle six hundred thousand

and we're to see calls a year but the calls are on the inside there's been an explosion in color it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire department is medical at seven roger push that route you may discontinue several finale is the address of your emergency or is there any please but is there bleed. time just don't believe you are the strong one year deal k i want your time her rescuer emotions running high i want to test our medical records are you there with the right now your ok listen very carefully and it's already on the way what i need to find out from you right now is she conscious. conscious beings awake the rising demand for ema services increasing every year our u.s. runs are going up two percent and hospitals are closing in the last four years about ten hospitals close so it's less and less hospitals for us to take our five hundred seventeen patients every day the rest you get there they evaluate your situation has been referred to as the perfect storm in the county of los angeles

just getting bigger and bigger in this there's no no relief in sight if you're having a health crisis you'd like to think you can count on getting quick treatment in a hospital emergency room across the country today many emergency rooms were packed e.r. visits have grown thirty two percent in the last decade but there are seven percent fewer emergency rooms from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe if you know what's happening in the city of los angeles and in southern california is ground zero for what we're seeing nationwide with the crisis with emergency services. the inpatient beds per capita lowest in the country and what we've seen recently is the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department and because we have become the de facto health care system. this is the canary in the mauling of health care throughout the united states and outstanding

thank you. their. quarterly statistical to me this is to get stuff right here oh yeah. mr chambre you miss incident. kurdish. eight hundred twenty seven. john. that's a look that's a real popular one. to vote for the sure this is really the case if you're still really breathing from those the number one call the. station sixty five is in the south los angeles area of our city. they actually have to paramedic rescues down there one of our busiest engine companies we have in the city of los angeles and unfortunately can't keep personnel that long there or they come there they gather

a lot of experience in a relatively short period of time and they want to go on to a better place. before. they see the a. thief three and three. firefighters at first were even e m t's and then they became e m t's and from my understanding it's a lot of firefighters pocket that they knew one of the many e.m.'s in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to do your mass and i started out i want to just do firefighting and they told us go get your mt license i said i can't hear you can't

do it and i took an e.m.t. course and i thought 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 truly enjoyed your miss aspect of it as well my job where it was that it started with emulous company making those five bucks an hour for about four years five years which a lot of us had to do. i think. our fire code has played an important role in driving down the volume and spirit of fires and because that is the reality where we need is more ambulances. ten years ago with half the analysts is that we have now we know 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 the one

you want to family member to come with you to the hospital who you want him to know . that you're. here. to go see this leg. and. leave him know it's. urgent soon is very important. we see about three thousand patients a month through demurred city park but. we had a day the other day where we saw hundred ten in one day and it was exciting and your name is stephanie said just reach your sorry buddy the lady you looking for and i think you're her my mom ok i've had a lot of pain and it's where my legs get now in the news it's that you

were in a doctor's office today and she was concerned he had blood by the way you had one before you're pregnant there's a pressure right now so when you were increasing staffing and trying to find a room where there's never been a room like you know closets hallways things like that. starting examining the hallways because about three times it's. personal there. are certain things the problem is not enough in-patient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those deaths to take care of all the people who are here. we may have a hospital full of patients no beds upstairs were patients in our yard because there's no beds upstairs and we do the best we can we're we can't turn them away. and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an

emergency room. but the reality is is that these people don't have 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. the rest listen to please a resolution but there's not one more. rather . than there are. no problems. with the weeks and months that we're. what's worse i know that should read just me

or does bank really. you can play just me which look different than what we want to see us for the granting of your heart she was going all right right now let's do it with your rhythm i want to make sure for you. very question but you haven't taken any such leniency drugs in the last twenty four hours that you are ok. oh. dear i'm sorry for believing that it remain your mother son and more clear you know work in his heart ok high that sickness number on the spacious b. as in boy you two six six five four four six five he is now adamantly refusing the hospital there were rising on the wrists complication up to and including down. he's willing to accept those responsibilities. i miss the hospital i want to speak with you. know every team body on talk to.

yeah hello. yeah i feel good. some people are just like that you know they get the tree man they don't want to they don't want to go yeah a lot of the point. as precious but. a lot of times they don't have the medicine they can't get the medicine they kind of for the medicine or they sell it for other things. but this is it up and take it back to the doctor. so because of that a lot of them tell us more primary care the fresh emergencies. 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 i remember the service. there are

going to. really. make sure everybody stops and starts. to want to be more. just resigned ok we're going to hear martin luther king ok they're not going to go . you should go we're strongly recommending it we can't force you to go when i have a good healthy baby right here that's going to hospital let you know fifty. you know you need to you only go with your daughter who's a mom or not right your family what you're going to have. to let me do this is the first time for him with crack and yeah and she could meet contracting and just. as a young man to do this it was that it was you know great listen 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 that's just being blunt i've
