Respondiendo al llamado en los rincones m\u00e1s remotos de Nebraska<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cuando KC Merrihew oye que suena su buscapersonas, sabe que se trata de algo grave. Como responsable del Departamento de Servicios M\u00e9dicos de Emergencia (EMS) de Garden County Health Services en Oshkosh, Nebraska, tambi\u00e9n sabe que el tiempo es esencial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cAqu\u00ed, este no es el tipo de personas que llaman al 9-1-1 sin ning\u00fan motivo\u201d, <\/strong>dijo. \u201c\u00c9stos son el tipo de personas que, cuando se rompen una pierna, se suben al coche y conducen hasta el hospital\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los servicios m\u00e9dicos de urgencia desempe\u00f1an un papel fundamental en las zonas rurales. Nebraska es uno de los tres estados con las tasas m\u00e1s altas de residentes rurales que viven a m\u00e1s de 25 minutos en autom\u00f3vil de donde hay una ambulancia estacionada. Algunas partes del condado de Garden son tan remotas y escasamente pobladas que se han ganado la clasificaci\u00f3n de "superrurales", con un tiempo de respuesta promedio de 40 minutos debido a la distancia recorrida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KC naci\u00f3 y creci\u00f3 en la regi\u00f3n del Panhandle de Nebraska, en una comunidad no incorporada llamada Ashby. \u00bfPoblaci\u00f3n? \u201cYo\u201d, dijo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se uni\u00f3 a la Marina de los Estados Unidos y complet\u00f3 la \u201cescuela A\u201d, donde los marineros reciben capacitaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica para convertirse en m\u00e9dicos, y finalmente sirvi\u00f3 como m\u00e9dico de combate del Green Side con los Marines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Creo que haber crecido en un rancho al sur de Ashby me proporcion\u00f3 una mentalidad de 'arregl\u00e1rmelas' y una \u00e9tica de trabajo superior. El ej\u00e9rcito me ense\u00f1\u00f3 a salvar vidas y a hacer bien mi trabajo", afirm\u00f3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de completar su contrato militar, regres\u00f3 a Nebraska y se convirti\u00f3 en param\u00e9dico registrado a nivel nacional y obtuvo su certificaci\u00f3n de param\u00e9dico de vuelo. Ha trabajado en Garden County Health Services durante los \u00faltimos 10 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El servicio de emergencias m\u00e9dicas del condado es una operaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica. Tienen un t\u00e9cnico en emergencias m\u00e9dicas y un param\u00e9dico de guardia las 24 horas del d\u00eda, los siete d\u00edas de la semana. Cuando se recibe una llamada al 911, el primer paso es ponerse en contacto con el apoyo a\u00e9reo para ver si puede estar disponible. Si el clima es malo o hay un helic\u00f3ptero fuera por mantenimiento, es posible que no sea posible. La activaci\u00f3n o la disponibilidad a\u00e9rea inmediata es importante porque el helic\u00f3ptero m\u00e1s cercano est\u00e1 a 40 minutos de distancia, por lo que la disponibilidad ayuda a reducir el tiempo para que el paciente reciba atenci\u00f3n definitiva. Seg\u00fan KC, los helic\u00f3pteros rara vez se devuelven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEl condado de Garden no tiene capacidades quir\u00fargicas, ni neur\u00f3logo, ni anestesia ni terapia respiratoria (factores importantes para salvar vidas), por lo que debemos poder trasladarnos a instalaciones que tengan esas capacidades\u201d.<\/strong> dijo.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cada vez es m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil para los servicios de ambulancia responder a las emergencias en las zonas rurales de Estados Unidos debido a la escasez de personal y a las crecientes crisis financieras. Alrededor de un tercio de las agencias de servicios m\u00e9dicos de urgencia rurales de Estados Unidos se encuentran en peligro operativo inmediato porque no pueden cubrir sus costos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEl mayor desaf\u00edo para nosotros aqu\u00ed es que la gente pueda trabajar de manera constante, aut\u00f3noma, sin direcci\u00f3n, y que pueda hacerlo bien. Es un \u00e1rea muy dif\u00edcil porque cuando uno sale a cumplir una llamada, es uno mismo. Eso es todo. Probablemente no haya ayuda disponible. La fortaleza mental y la capacidad de adaptarse a las situaciones de nuestra gente son notables\u201d, dijo KC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KC dice que todo el oeste de Nebraska es una comunidad de pueblo. Tiene amigos en cada pueblo. Por eso, cuando suena el busca, no solo sabe que un paciente realmente lo necesita, sino que tambi\u00e9n podr\u00eda ser uno de sus amigos o familiares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe encanta la sanidad rural porque cuenta con algunas de las personas m\u00e1s vers\u00e1tiles, dispuestas y trabajadoras que he conocido. En la sanidad rural, pasamos de ejecutar un c\u00f3digo o brindar cuidados intensivos de alto nivel a empujar un balde de trapeador\u201d, dijo. \u201cMe encanta la sanidad rural porque cuido a las personas que me importan\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
