National recommendations call for cooling heat stroke patients before transporting them to the hospital, but as David Schechter found out, only 11 states require ambulance services to follow this life-saving protocol.

@DavidSchechter It is mind blowing that as an academic and professional society, healthcare has not ruthlessly cracked down on this LIFE SAVING procedure for EHI management. Another great reason why certified athletic trainers are critical in all levels of athletic participation

@DavidSchechter Glad to see EMS and other providers implementing the heat illness protocol recommended for over a decade by the @NATA1950, @K_S_Institute. Thanks to Doug Casa and all the athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals who did the research and hard work to develop this!

@CBSNews @DavidSchechter Thats good idea. But i wonder it is ok not to think about other diagnosis. Any way i thought that cooling the patients are not harmful option. Heat stroke is dangerous condition, so prevention and treat as quickly are important .

@DavidSchechter This was an amazing story. Does NJ have this law?

THIKA ROAD ACCIDENT. This evening along Thika Road, just before the Roysambu Roundabout, as I was coming from Githurai, I came across a group of boda boda riders who had stopped by the roadside. I stopped to find out what was happening, only to discover that a fellow boda boda rider and his passenger had been involved in a serious accident. I was told that the accident had happened about two hours earlier, and the critically injured victims were still waiting for an ambulance. The riders had been calling different ambulance services, but unfortunately, they were not getting help. I personally called five ambulance services from nearby private hospitals and private ambulance providers, but all of them declined to respond. One of them asked for KShs 15,000 before dispatching an ambulance. Even a traffic police officer who was at the scene had reportedly made several attempts to get an ambulance, but there was still no response. The rider was bleeding badly and his condition was deteriorating. I had no choice but to request a matatu to first transport him to hospital as we continued looking for an ambulance. After few minutes, I called SHA Emergency Ambulance Services thats the EMS ambulances and I sincerely appreciate their response. The moment I called, they responded and dispatched an ambulance to the scene. The ambulance arrived, rescued the passenger and took them to hospital for further treatment. This is a wake-up call. In an emergency, every minute counts. Critically injured Kenyans should not have to wait for hours because an ambulance is unavailable or because they cannot immediately raise money for emergency transport. I therefore call upon the Ministry of Health to consider developing a clear policy requiring private ambulance providers to respond to genuine emergencies without demanding upfront payment before dispatch. Emergencies are unpredictable, and no one should lose their life simply because they cannot raise money quickly enough. I also call upon private hospitals and healthcare providers to prioritise the life, health and wellbeing of patients before money. Healthcare is a calling, and while hospitals and ambulance services have operational costs, we must find a way to ensure that financial considerations do not delay lifesaving emergency care. We should never monetise human life. I also call upon county heath care workers especially the nurses to resume duty to continue saving lives as their union continue negotiating for their demands. Today it was a stranger on Thika Road. Tomorrow, it could be any one of us or someone we love. A delayed ambulance can mean a lost life. In an emergency, every second counts. Let us act before it is too late. Once again, thank you to SHA Emergency Ambulance Services for responding promptly when I called. Your quick intervention made a difference.
