A proposito di questo titolo
In 1967, in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, calling an ambulance was often a gamble and too often, a losing one. In this episode of PMHX: The Story of EMS, we tell the powerful story of Freedom House Ambulance Service, a group of Black men and women who changed emergency medicine forever.
Before paramedics existed, before emergency care reached the streets, patients were scooped up and left alone in the back of police wagons, or hearses with little hope of survival. With guidance from pioneers like Peter Safar and Nancy Caroline, Freedom House trained local residents of Pittsburgh's Hill District to deliver advanced medical care in the space between the incident and the hospital. This episode traces the birth, success, and heartbreaking dismantling of Freedom House, and shows how they proved that life-saving medicine could happen on sidewalks and in living rooms, how they invented the paramedic before the word even existed, and how politics and prejudice nearly erased their legacy.
This is the story of how modern EMS was born on the streets of the Hill District, through necessity, courage, and a refusal to accept that nothing could be done.
