Kudo's to HFD

This morning one of our members had a hypo-glycemic episode. His blood sugar had plunged to 36 which is low. I was called by a family member to the house to help. Several minutes later Houston Fire Department Paramedics arrived and took over the scene. I have always been a fan of paramedics. At one point while working for a local volunteer fire department I took EMT training. Its a unique experience to work in emergency medical services.
Paramedics are highly skilled young men and women who are able to shave minutes off of getting care to the sick and injured. In paramedic lingo it is called the “Golden Hour”. The basis of the Golden Hour is “the sooner you can get a person treated the more likely they are to survive.”.
Kudos to the Houston Fire Department for their professional and skillful treatment of this one patient. I know each day there are hundreds maybe thousands who are the reciepents of their care. Keep up the good work.
