Emergency Response Team - Hamad Hospital

I guess you all are aware of the new airlift services introduced by Hamad Hospital. they are indeed doing a wonderful job. I saw them twice in Salwa Industrial area, attending road accidents.
Luckily i could get a video yesterday as i was driving back home. I have uploaded the video to youtube if any of you wanna watch.
You can't actually see the guy involved in the haz as no one was given access except the cops and the emergency team.. They were there foralmost an hour so i guess the accident was pretty serious......
Excellent service by Hamad Hospital!
Cheers

Air Ambulance ...I couldn't agree with you more, good for them! In the UK, the Air Ambulance Service is funded by charity, if you have an accident at the end of the month when the money is gone, they can't attend unless exceptional circumstances. We are so lucky to live here with this fantastic health service
Snowstorm said
yes indeed ...True Jasmine
Especially when considering the road traffic this is a wonderful service.
cheers

u arent aware or reality ...its good that hamad hospital has launced the air ambulance serivce BUT there are some drawback too
1. it is one of a kind without tail rotor which makes it an expensive aircraft (not our issue....but have to mention facts)
2. it can carry 1 casuality at a time.
3. it cant fly more than an hour
4. it does'nt have night flying capabilities
5. neither does the crew fly at night....
for night purpose airforce crew are called (which happens very rarely) which have have bigger aircraft which can fly anytime, have more flying endurance and can carry more than 10 persons, they have night capabilities and have experieced crew than that of hamad

anyway.. this or that.. its ...anyway.. this or that.. its a gud thing to have emergency airlift services by Hamad...
Ronin said
It's a good service... ...At least sending the patient to the hospital as fast as possible can be the difference between life and death.. however, once the patient is in the hospital, treatment is another matter... how are the quality of the doctors there nowadays? Any comments on that?

Lousy Triage ...The problem with the Hamad Emergency section is its far toooooooo small for the population and they can't triage. I went in with 3 broken ribs possible ruptured spleen and in shock and I was put in the cut and scrape room for 2 hours. I told them I could not breath and I knew my ribs were broken but unless you cry and scream they ignore you so get your lungs prepared those that scream the loudest get cared for. They need a much bigger unit for just trauma a secured area without the public milling in the halls. I wish they took medical care as seriously as education then we would be in great shape. They have way too many patients and too few drs. and staff.

Slowly but surely ...This is just one of the several helicopters our dept(EMS) is trying to launch. Soon you will see several of these flying in our skies. Just keep your patience and fingers crossed because we in EMS dept have no time to rest and everyday including night are battling the now congested roads of Doha trying to improve our services for you.

i think theres a good chance of a happy ending ...i dont think they would of deployed an airlift rescue team if there wasnt a good chance of survival.

I think it is not a Hamad ...I think it is not a Hamad hospital initiative
I heard it is the National Health Authority who funds this service.

Met some of the Aussies and ...Met some of the Aussies and Americans training the crews. They say that there were eventually be night-flight capabilities but that there aren't enough crews trained to that competence level yet-another year or so apparently. Have heard good things said about the crews and medics by their trainers.
