Spent a rather educational Sunday at UA Campus Health learning how to control bleeding in an emergency. Practiced applying direct pressure, packing wounds and toyed with tourniquets. Thank you! 🙏🏽#stopthebleed 🩸

$The EMS Physicians 1 Program brings emergency room care directly to the roadside 🏥 🚨 The program is a collaboration between the University of Arizona, Tucson Fire Department, Northwest Fire District, and Golder Ranch Fire District, offering physician-level care for major trauma injuries caused by events like severe motor vehicle accidents. An EMS physician and UAEMS EMT staff the Physician 1 vehicle and help respond to 911 calls throughout the Tucson community. Amber Rice, MD, is one of the EMS Physicians who regularly staff the Physician 1 vehicle. Alongside Dr. Rice is EMT Olivia Huang, Deputy Chief of Operations for UAEMS. Huang is a current U of A student who is also a highly trained EMT. Working with Dr. Rice in the field gives her even more hands-on training in emergency medicine that directly benefits the community. The Physician 1 vehicle is unique because it is equipped with advanced medical interventions like antibiotics for open fractures, rapid blood transfusion and surgical equipment. These kinds of procedures are typically done in an emergency department, but the Physician 1 vehicle provides physician-level care for patients as soon as possible.$
