Title: Interesting and encouraging...
Post by Jackie on Feb 8th, 2013 at 1:41pm
I had a paramedic in my office this morning (he moonlights for a fire protection company and was making sure our extinguishers were updated to code)

I asked if he know about CH or had he ever treated a sufferer.  He has!  He knew that 02 was the first line of defense.  He will be making a PowerPoint presentation to make sure ALL the paramedics here are informed.  I'm going to bet it gets brought up with the ER doctors too.

It was a good conversation.  I feel he will be researching some of the thing we discussed.

Baby steps folks....but we're getting there.

Yay!!! Baby steps indeed but he has the potential to reach a lot of people.  :)

Yes indeed, Joe...my thoughts exactly.
Plus, our ER doctors are a group and practice in several different hospitals in the area.

That is AWESOME Jacks!  That is exactly what Ozzy had set up with RJ many years ago - and it got waylaid.  I'm thrilled to hear that you've achieved a major advocacy objective!!!!!!

Go Jackie, go Jackie!
