“Regarding the outcome of patients, I do not think that such data exists and why would any hospital even try to gather this data?”
Yes that is what I said,
I am not accusing you of mocking EMS. And I am by no means in any way criticiisng hatzolah. As I said, IF needed I would call them
I am just wondering if you think there is a difference in patient outcome. that is all.
“Yet anecdotally people have situations…” totally! Though sadly there are a few anecdotes in the reverse (admitedly far less) I am asking if you think these anecdotes add up to improved patient outcomes. Kudos for all involved in saving the pateitn w/ the LAD obstruction,. This may or may not surpirse you but Ive met patients brought in by EMS who survived.
Again if you dont want to answer, that is obviously fine, and I fully undertsand why that would be.
My question is simply do you think patients brought in by Hatzolah have better outcomes than similar patients brought in by another agency.
1 )Yes
2) No
3) prefer not to answer
Again I understand there is no data to back it up, and you cant know with certaintly, but you seem to have some anaecdotal experience and it must point you in one direction or another,
(and again worth noting even if outcomes are the same it is reassuring t ohave a familair face, I am not critisicng there holy work at all.)
I hope you dont mind obliging me , its just soemthing Ive wondered about
