Paramedic Roy DeSoto: This application isn't signed. Paramedic John Gage: I wanted to talk to you first. Paramedic Roy DeSoto: Sure. What do you want to know? Paramedic John Gage: You went through that first class of special medical training, right? Paramedic Roy DeSoto: Right. Paramedic John Gage: If you rolled on a rescue call now. Today. Could you use that training to treat a victim on the scene? Paramedic Roy DeSoto: No. Paramedic John Gage: Then why should I, or anybody else, spend twelve weeks, or twelve minutes, learning to do what we can't do? Paramedic Roy DeSoto: Because you said *today*. There's a bill before the state legislature right now, Assembly Bill PM 11307, that will permit qualified fire department personnel to administer medical assistance in the field. Paramedic John Gage: *If* it's passed. Paramedic Roy DeSoto: You've asked a few questions before you came in here, didn't you? Paramedic John Gage: I want to find out if it's a job, or just a title. Paramedic Roy DeSoto: It's a job all right. It's going to be the most important advance in emergency medicine in the last fifty years. Paramedic John Gage: Going to be. Well, maybe you'd better just hang-on to that application until it is. Paramedic Roy DeSoto: That'll be too late. We're already late. Gage, there are over six-and-a-half million people in Los Angeles County right now and not nearly enough doctors to handle them even under normal conditions. When you get into an emergency situations: freeway accidents, drownings, heart attacks and a thousand others, people are dying at the scene! People who could stay alive if there was somebody at the spot who knew what to do! Paramedic John Gage: But they won't let you fuction. Paramedic Roy DeSoto: They will. They'll have to. Look, if that bill passes in the Legislature today, do you know how many people we have ready for the job? Paramedic Roy DeSoto: Just me, and five other guys who took the training course. Six men for six-and-a-half million people. No, we can't wait for the go ahead and then train our people. If there's once chance in a million that bill will be passed, we have to be ready. Paramedic John Gage: Use your pen?
