User Comments
07-15-2004 00:58:32 - Pat Bernhardt: I feel that if we don't have this technology to enhance Pt. care we will be ridiculed by much of mainstream society that is now using camera-cellphones and the like. This is something I see as another way to verify that we are care providers and not just ambulance drivers.
06-22-2004 20:31:21 - Rozek: Either the medical control physicians trust us medics or they use micromanaging techniques such as this machine. Why else would you dedicate a large amount of time, money and effort needed to monitor the monitor rather than treat additional patients in the emergency thus relieving the physician to expand treatment opportunities to additional patients?
06-22-2004 11:06:18 - PAUL BOEHM: MEDICAL CONTROL MUST HAVE TRUST IN STREET PERSONAL,OTHER WISE PUT THE ER STAFF IN OUR UNIT AND WE CAN MOVE BACK IN TIME TO WHEN ALL WE DID WAS LOAD AND GO.
06-21-2004 15:14:29 - David White: As long as field personnel can accurately interpret vital signs I see no advantage in telemetry. Los Angeles (CA) dumped telemetry many years ago.
06-17-2004 14:48:29 - Rene Delisle: Yes. I feel it would be an excellent idea to have patient telemety. I feel it reduces the chance of miss-comunication, and gives Medical control more info in order to better tailor treatments.
06-17-2004 06:50:45 - Mike Walsh: I think it's useful, definitely another tool to help out, but we always say treat the patient not the machine.. You can see a pulse on a computer screen but you can't feel its quality.
