<<While you pursue your utopian ideals>> Utopian? We in Alaska prior to 1975 had no emergency medical services system (EMS) at all. If you got hurt or were really sick they threw you in the back of a pick up or across the back of a thee wheeler, then often into a boat or small plane and maybe you made it and maybe you didn't. The Department of Health and Social Services hired me to write a comprehensive emergency medical services plan for the state. It had 15 components beginning with accessing the patient, communications, stabilization, transportation, to docs or hos[ital. and outpatient. Each component had a goal, objectives and methodology. I wrote that entire plan myself. 1,440 pages and the feds gave us half a million dollars to implement it. Then the governor hired me to be the first state Director to implement it. The first thing we did was train hundreds, then thousands of people to be emergency medical technicians (EMT's), including all firemen and most policemen and others. The reason was so we could stabilize the patient on the scene in case it was going to be a long transportation. Today we have one of the finest EMS systems in the world that have saved thousands of lives over the years.. When people reach you they are trained to stabilize you so you won't fucking die! Thousands of lives have been saved over the years. Oh, and 2 different governors hired me to do the same thing with the Department of Alcoholism and Drug abuse (see bio) and coordinating the Valdez oil spill for H&SS. Does that sound utopian to you? You conservatives never even try to solve problems, so you don't think they can be solved. If you ever come up here and get sick or hurt that system might save your life and then you would change your tune. We even have search teams with trained dogs. They find a lot of people before they die of exposure and we lose a lot of people that way. We are over twice as large as Texas with the thickest forests in the world. We needed that EMS system. Can you see how much we needed to do that?
