European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 3, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes letters health care worker opposes 24-hour clinic i just read your article about the petition to have the pin Lamare medical clinic open 24 hours. After read ing it i Ltd thai some of the issues raised in the article should be answered by one of the overworked medical professionals in Europe. I am in the army but the issues raised concern All military branches and All health clinks that support an enormous population with Only limited services. The first Issue raised is thai after Otic person s daughter was scalded and she tried id receive health care she stated thai she had no car or phone. Every person in Europe who has a wife or child Here should have some kind of online ency plan to get a person in need of medical help to a doctor. We have the local National ambulance service num Bers and an easy translation of what to say to next to the phone. These Are available at health clinics thai do not provide ambulance services. No phone i m sure Ai lean one House in the housing area has a phone. There Are also pay phones. Know the health clinic s hours. Welcome packets Neo briefings or even a Call to the health clinic would have provided the hours of operation. The second Issue raised is that everyone s solution to this problem is let s keep our local health clinic open 24 the problem with this is obvious. There just Aren t enough medical personnel in Europe. You cannot Eccl those of us in Lite medical Field who arc already overworked to give any More. You would t like in if your husband worked 12-16 hours a Day five or More Days a week. This is Wilh no Days off no training holidays no payday activities restricted leave or no leave. In addition to seeing hundreds of Patin is a Day we also have to be soldiers airmen and seamen. Physical training cleaning weapons washing vehicles All this and More must to worked into our daily life. Most of the Lime it is after our 12-16 hours of seeing patients our free Lime. The petition says that they Only want a medic and an ambulance on duty after hours. Let s look at this. To have an ambulance requires two trained Ems emergency medical technicians. What if the corps men they have at the clinic at the present time Are not emt qualified Are the people willing to let leave the clinic for several weeks to be trained this will mean longer wailing times when they of to the clinic during the Day. Did All the people who signed the petition understand this a medic cannot run the clinic at night alone. Legally a medic cannot treat or advise a for any thing thai a doctor has not ordered or approved. This Means thai a doctor will either have logo in the clinic physically or be on Call. If he is on Call this would mean an extra wailing time until the patient could be treated. So this Means four Cople would be required to staff the clinic at night. This would be limited serv ice no pharmacy. A Ray or lab so you still might wind up having to go to the nearest Hospital. Then give these four people who have jus worked 24 hours the next Day off As they deserve and you have just increased the waiting time for a routine appoint ment at the clinic from the usual three to four weeks to Over two months. Listen to the stories of the people who have abused the system when our clinics were open 24 hours the parents who bring their kids in for an emergency cold at 2 . The famous icy feel warm tempera Ture 98.6 at 11 30 . The woman whose child fell Down three Days ago but she did t want to Lake off from work so she comes in at 7 . And cusses us put because a Ray is closed the women who think they can gel their birth control pills refilled Al 10 Al night. The last Issue is that medical benefits Are one reason Stales at the risk of sounding cold mean and heart less just remember that to dependent in Europe is Here against his or her your sponsor received his overseas briefing he was told of the hardships Lack or shortage of scr ices and expense of bringing family members Over seas. He should have discussed this with you and when he signed for an accompanied tour rather than an unaccompanied this mean both accepted these terms and hardships. ,. In other words you can stay accept the services Hal you have use Hampus and local National facilities or go Back to the Stales and receive the services you Are entitled to. But please do not Volunteer me or any of my fellow health care workers for any More work. We Are already giving All we have.

Too often men and women find ther Oscle in jobs they bite and they hate themselves for slaying in those jobs. They pot themselves through misery and suffer from boredom As they dutifully follow family Ritu als because they feel they must. We All Are programmed to please those we care about and those who care about us Bui the Plain troth is that we do not Bare to do or be what others expect of la be.
