Thank you to EMTs | Letter

On Tuesday, Nov. 4 I had occasion to call 911 at the direction of my island physician from Orcas Medical Center. Because it was 3 a.m. when an unexpected pain happened, Dr. Tony Giefer asked that an EKG be done to rule out any heart issue.

EMTs from my neighborhood in Rosario responded as well as a medical unit from Eastsound. Their care and concern and professional behavior says “Kudos” for our fire EMS system on island.

Thanks so much for checking me out and reporting the fine outcome to my doctor. We are so fortunate to have such skilled people to assist, especially after clinic hours.
