County EMTs elect officers

       Johnson County Emergency Medical Technicians elected the following officers Monday at their meeting held at the Johnson County Memorial Hospital; Sam Williams, reelected president; Dale Bancroft, vice president; and Judy Young re-elected secretary-treasurer. Dr. Connie Van Valer spoke on the EMT training program, which will start in the spring, with Dale and Linda Bancroft teaching the classes. There was a general discussion on the new ambulance record forms; the exchange equipment program at the hospital; the possibility of acquiring funds to purchase training slides and audio-video tape recorders, and future programs with guest speakers. It was stated, reporting to the hospital on IHERN should be kept short with the chief complaint of the patient, given first, in his own words if possible, followed by vitals and related injuries, history and then medication, if any. The next meeting will be held Monday, Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Johnson County Memorial Hospital Cafeteria, with Dale Bancroft scheduled to demonstrate the Green splint. EMT’s present were Sam Williams; Judy Young; John Donico; Doug Chambers; Don Smith; Haydon Fleener; Jerry Ramey; James Kelsy; Scott Cotton; jack Wilmoth; Charles Northcott; Wanetta Fleener; Darrel Fleener; Jim and Velma Markins; Dale and Linda Bancroft; Rose and Jerry Harrington; Mary Courtney; Richard Johnson; Tom Kuhn Sr.; Carl Miller; Forrest Sutton; Joyce Kuhn; Pat McDaniel; Jody Long; Doug Bailey; Mickey Reed; Jeff Courtney; Mike Moore and Dr. Connie Van Valer.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
