 Ed Kashi, Paramedics working with the Los Angeles Fire Department, assigned to station 65 in Watts, respond to 911 calls. They must deal with hospital overcrowding, ambulance diversions and provide healthcare for members of the local community. In many instances, they deliver primary care for people in the community they serve. This is due to the health insurance problems in America today, where hospitals are overcrowded and people feel they have no alternative for basic health care delivery. This is one of the impacts of having 46 million Americans without health insurance. Due to the abuse of the system and a lack of education, people use the ambulances and paramedics as a taxi service to the emergency rooms of the area hospitals, which makes fifty million dollars a year for the L.A. City Fire Department but strains the system for those who really need emergency services. 89 year old Ethline Hendrickson, who had been vomiting and choking, is taken into the emergency room. |
 Ed Kashi, Dr. Ana Blohm is part of the Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program in Manhattan, which serves over 1000 patients who have difficulty leaving their homes. A model program that bucks the current trends in health care, Blohm and her colleagues provide hands-on, high-quality medical care to men and women in their own homes. The patients include frail older adults, people with dementia, psychiatric illness, neuromuscular disease, cancer or diabetes, and those who are terminally ill. They range in age from their 20s to 105, and they might not be able to live at home independently without the Visiting Doctors program. Ninelle Sims, 100 years old, is a homebound patient suffering from arthritis and a stroke. |
