A new program was just announced in Salt Lake City to have doctors responding with the FD for cardiac arrests and Mass Casualty events.
PIO from the fire department " This is exciting for us because it enhances the care that we can give in the streets. It enhances the opportunities for our physicians to directly be on the scenes with the patients and see the types of incidents that we have, and that greatly gives them the opportunity to alter or enhance the program and the way we deliver that care"
In some cases, the physicians will be dispatched directly to a scene based on certain criteria passed along by dispatchers, but the PIO said they'll have the opportunity to go on any calls they choose, including minor calls.
Should be interesting. Until they get bored LOL
