This past Wednesday EMT Almeida and EMT Lutz were called to a male with shoulder pain. The EMTs recognized the potential cardiac symptom, obtained a 12-lead EKG and requested ALS assistance. The 12-lead confirmed an ST segment myocardial infarction (STEMI). The @kenthospitalri ED was notified from the field and the Cardiac team was awaiting their arrival. Another example of the excellent care our team is providing! Great job!
