I’ll tell you this .. any day that I can drive around the #rural Iowa countryside & listen to The Big Show on NEWSRADIO 1040 WHO is a good day. Two good days in a row for me! But .. I’ve missed my friends & learning in Las Vegas with Mattox/Vegas TCCACS.
No picture .. just pride that Iowa Methodist Medical Center Trauma Services has partnered with Bondurant Emergency Services & Iowa Governor’s School Safety Bureau to teach EVERY teacher in EVERY school in Bondurant-Farrar CSD about Stop the Bleed ACS. This is OUR community. Andrew Trau
Today is National Stop the Bleed ACS day. Such a pleasure to host Iowa legislators to tour Iowa Methodist Medical Center Trauma Services and learn to save a life with #StopTheBleed! Look at Eddie Andrews applying the tourniquet to Carlos Pelaez, MD, MHA! Andrew Trau Beth Fuchsen
Thanks for being with us today! We love to tell/share our story .. and, yes, together we can save lives! #StopTheBleed. Iowa Methodist Medical Center Trauma Services
Great example of why the open discussion in Iowa needs to move forward in the next legislative session. Iowa Medical Society
Another challenge disproportionately felt in #rural areas is EMS care. Thanks to LT Adam Gregg for hearing us out today & for working on solutions. Great day for a tractor ride! #PowerofRural Natl Organization of State Offices of Rural Health
7 years ago today - November 28, 2016 - we presented the first complete #StopTheBleed course in the state of Iowa at the Firestone plant in Des Moines. Wow - how far things have come since then! Iowa Methodist Medical Center Trauma Services
“You have to act on what you see, not what you think you know” - that is surgical gold from Alexander Eastman at Mattox/Vegas TCCACS
Pleasure to participate in this discussion with Great Plains Center and Brian Feist about farm emergency preparedness. With longer EMS response times, Stop the Bleed ACS is especially important in #rural areas. Podcast here: bit.ly/3Uo6tYb
