15 Ways you can help us save lives
9. If you are in a big building or on a large campus please send someone to the front
entrance tomeet uswhenwe arrive. The ladies bathroomon the 10th floor east wing
might be easy for you to find today, but can you remember howdifficult it was to find
on your first day at work? It's our first time in your building - help us get to the
patient quickly.
10. People takemedicine, chronically ill people take lots of medicine. Make awritten, up-
to-date list of your loved ones current medications and store it in a place that the
whole family is aware of. This information could make a significant difference to a
patient’s outcome, especially if they are unconscious.
11. We receive about 30 accidental calls a day. This wastes time and blocks the
emergency line. It is also very distracting to our dispatchers who are dealing with
real emergencies. Please use speed dials for people you phone often. Save our
number inyour contacts not onyour speeddial.
12. We often receive complaints from callers telling us that they called us andwe did not
come. When we research these calls often they have called security companies or
other emergency services. Call us! If you want Hatzolah – call Hatzolah 083 222
1818.
13. If you are involved in a bumper bashing and
move
you are still able to drive your car,
to the side of the road and then get out and exchange details with the other driver.
Staying in themiddle of the road often results in a secondary collision somove out of
the traffic flow.
14. Emergency scenes are no picnic; please give us the space towork. Help us to clear the
area so thatwe can treat the patient.
15. If you feel that we have not lived up to our reputation please email us
(
) or go onto our website (
) and log a
complaint. We are young and dynamic and constantly improving so please
