Emergency medical technicians on ambulances have the greatest op portunity of any segment of society to alleviate human suffering at the scene of accidental injury or sudden illness, and during transportation to a hospital With proper training and ex perience. ready availability of equipment and supplies, radio communication with the hospital and medical staff, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is ready to serve as the most valuable lay member of the emergency medical care team outside the hospital Emergency medical care is a team effort, provided by a team consisting of those among the general public who are trained in this area. The City of Nappanee has 20 persons on the care team. These people are from the general public, and volunteer to work on this care team--their presence on the team enables them to provide help when it is needed. The attitude and conduct of an emergency medical technician must at all times reflect a sincere dedication to serving fellow human beings. His moral and ethical standards should be high He must always seek to increase his knowledge and skills, to perform to the best of his ability, with full recognition of his own limitations, and to accept and benefit from constructive criticism and advice The EMT must earn the respect and recognition of others as a responsible member of the emergency care team He must take pride in his technical knowledge, and his ability to render care The EMT must be thoroughly familiar with the usefulness and limitations of the transportation vehicle, the communication equipment and every item of supplies and equipment available to him He must combine tact and firmness with his medical skills and practice in every case that comes to his attention. The EMT will often be confronted with situations that tax his ability to remain calm, and to perform effec tively. No matter what the situation, the EMT must be prepared to face this situation with equanimity and to fulfill his responsibilities as a member of the medical team Nappanee is fortunate to have EMTs to meet these qualifications The department includes 15 basic EMTs, as follows: Eric Gibson. Car rie Hochstetler, Leann Gaff, Bob Chokey, Larry Housour, Dave Det wiler, Stan Gill, Dawn Hollar, Glen Young, Steve Helmuth, Marlin .Yoder, Paul Miller, Jim Sumpters Bert Hochstetler and Bill Leeper.

incision in an artery in the leg or arm and carefully pushes it in until the tip reaches the place in the heart or aorta the doctor wants to study. The aorta is the main artery carrying blood from the heart to the body. The coronary arteries branch off the aorta. Normally, dye is injected into the coronary arteries through the catheter, which makes it possible to determine through fluoroscope x-rays if coronary arteries have been narrowed by atherosclerosis. An aneurysm is the lesult of a weakening of the wall of an artery which balloons out in a bubble-like protrusion. It may rupture under the pressure of blood flow—this could cause sudden, potentially fatal loss , of blood, or stroke if it occurs in the brain Aneurysms may develop in any artery, but the abdominal aorta is the most common site If the aneurysm progressively increases in size, it should be removed despite the risk. Treatment involves surgical removal of the aneurysm and replacement of that section of the artery with a graft.
