You seem to know your stuff and work in a great system. . There's a lot here in these comments, and I'll do my best to sum up my thoughts succinctly: We've done A LOT of user research including days of time on the back of a

I still don't know who this is writing this, but I thank you for the sentiments! We've done our best to research the stats and present a thoughtful representation of the current state of EMS. We have many official and unofficial

Thanks! (although I'm not sure who this is - text me outside of HN if you want to stay anonymous). . Those Sn/Sp numbers are in collection - I don't have hard data for you yet. But you'll be sure to know when I do.

How so? Would love to address this question and your concerns. What is your perception of how our business model works?

Hahaha. I like this comment. We have 130 physicians who will do part time calls - we also have full time docs. But the benefit of the part time model is that Emergency Medicine docs have never had a model to make extra income for clinica

That is true. But there's a difference in being able to see the patient vs. having a bystander explain the situation verbally. There's no question that a dispatcher brings value to the CPR process - I think that we can bring mor

Sorry - let me explain myself. The term SCD is often used as analogous to SCA (sudden cardiac arrest). In this context, SCA is a more proper term - good catch. The only difference between the two is that the SCA didn't get treated i

If I may clarify some of the misunderstandings of what happens in a typical emergency. If a patient is clutching their chest, we're calling our ambulance service, not doing an EKG. However, the great majority of heart attacks don&#x2

So many good questions/points. Responding to each: 1. This would be an ideal world, but it just isn't the case. Nor do I think its a feasible solution to train nursing home nurses to be as knowledgeable about pathophysiology as p

Surely your right to not use our product. But, we've already saved lives, decreased transport times, identified conditions in patients that otherwise would have been ignored (because we have doctors doing the assessment, not bystander

We don't claim to - we do. Here's a great graphic on what happens when you Call 911: http://www.nyc.gov/html/911reporting/html/anatomy/call.shtml Our first step enters into this process late

SCD (sudden cardiac arrest) is a great example of when having a highly trained healthcare professional at the scene early can save lives. It's been well shown that there's a 'bystander effect' when it comes to CPR, whic

I think the EMS system does what it can for our patients, and paramedics save lives. As an ED doc and resident, I served as med control for EMS and saw first hand all of the difficulties they have with an outdated system created in the late

Good point trisomy21. Amazingly, it take 64 minutes on average to see an MD after calling 911! With Call9, you see one immediately.

by tpeck 11y ago
We get an ambulance to the scene faster than 911, which is a great benefit of using Call9 - I completely agree that it would be a terrible disservice to cause a delay in emergency response. Because we have a direct line to an ambulance ser
