  How the EMS does decide which hospital should the patient go to? What are the different problems that the EMS system faces in the transfer of the patients? 1.      Facilities of the EMS and the critical care units - The most appropriate thing to do in an EMS service is to transfer the patient to the nearest appropriate hospital. There have been increases in the number of trauma, spinal cord injury centers, burn centers, stroke centers, and centers with advanced cardiac or resuscitation capabilities. Tertiary care centers, often affiliated with medical schools, provide many of these services and may also have a large number of critical-care unit beds. There are superior hospitals present but when it comes to the EMS they have to deal with patients who are most in emergencies and thus bypassing the available hospitals for the specialty center is not a good move. The wish to go to a specialty center bypassing the other facilities might make the patie...

  What happens after we call an emergency number? What are the different protocols they follow? How are they at most of the times able to transport patients smoothly?

 Do you often get into situations where you don't know what to do say aor how to act?? Most of us have been in these kind of situations in our life. People who are introverts in nature can relate to what I am saying. We also get into situations where we have deadlines for something and we just go blank to what to do and everything seems to be a mess. So here is how I feel with it. It doesn't work for all the situations but is applicable to almost all our day to day life problems. If we can make these steps a habit then our  work and mental peace can both be at a gain, kind of a win situation. So what are these steps? How do we follow them? So, here they are. First the way you can keep any situation under your control or never let a situation go out of you hands is to follow a three step path in your mind which I will talk in a bit.

Emergency Medical Services EMS stands for Emergency Medical Services. Every country has some sort of extended pre-hospital setting which generally we call the EMS. in this blog we are going to learn the history of the EMS system and how it came to become an integral part of the hospitals.  We will know what are the different parts of the EMS system that works when we call our local emergency helpline!!!!! How It Started..... The concept of bringing care to the sick or injured dates back to Roman times. However, today’s EMS systems have their roots in legislative and clinical developments of the 1960s and 1970s.  Interesting to note that at that time there were very few types of equipment and facilities available and noteworthy to say tech was not too developed. Most of the ambulances were of funeral homes and very few amounts of them had stretchers. in the underdeveloped parts of the world, the situation was even worse. Thus healthcare was a very scarce piece of luxury that no...
