Ambulance Crash in Iowa Results in Fatality

Unfortunately, accidents do happen and when a healthcare provider is killed it makes it even worse. As EMS Providers, we need to be very careful. I always say that only a very small percentage of our ambulance calls are truly life threatening not requiring us to drive very fast. We really have to watch out. There are people driving with cell phones in their ears and more preoccupied with their conversations then they are of what is going on around them. They also have their car radios loud and children today, well they are just a problem at times in the car too. Make sure that you all are buckled up and that the patient is secured to the cot with all cot straps. Those who are caring for the patient in the back should also be buckled in the seat unless they are providing some type of care to the patient. In conclusion, lets all be careful out there, don't be a part of the problem. - Dave
