They told her she couldn’t take a year off between high school and college, and she did. They told her she couldn’t take a year off between college and medical school and she did that, too. She took a year off to study linguistics or something.” In 1977, Dr. Caroline immigrated to Israel to become medical director of Magen David Adom, the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross. “She liked to be where the action was,” said her brother. From 1982 to 1983, she worked with the Flying Doctors, providing medical care to the needy in East Africa. Upon her return to Israel, she got additional training in oncology and established the Hospice of Upper Galilee, a nonprofit that provides comprehensive palliative care. That was before she was diagnosed with cancer. The organization she founded would ultimately treat her in her final illness.

Physician Nancy Caroline originally authored Emergency Care in the Streets in 1979. Nearly 43 years later her approach to simplifying complex material to readers continues to lead paramedic and emergency medical training in the United States and beyond. She had maintained her status as a visiting professor in Pitt’s anesthesiology and critical care department. In February, a two-year research fellowship was named in her honor. Obituary: Dr. Nancy Caroline / A leader in preparing non-physicians to provide emergency medical careToday’s paramedics are asked to do so much more than provide first-aid, conduct CPR, and transport patients. The Ninth Edition contains a feature called “Street Smarts” boxes throughout the text which emphasize the “soft skills” required of today’s paramedics in the field. She was a pioneer who went to bat for paramedics when paramedic wasn’t a household word,” A.J. Heightman, editor of the Journal of Emergency Medical Services, said yesterday. “She believed that prehospital care could be rendered efficiently by lay people, like firefighters and others who took on the task.” Her book is a model of concision and simplicity. “She managed to explain extremely complicated medical concepts in words and images that people can understand,” said Heightman. urn:lcp:nancycarolinesem0000caro:epub:81413408-42ec-4be4-824c-cb747eb77cee Foldoutcount 0 Grant_report Arcadia #4281 Identifier nancycarolinesem0000caro Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t6rz8s85g Invoice 2089 Isbn 9781449609221 Dr. Caroline was one of the first physicians to understand that non-physicians could perform emergency skills traditionally relegated solely to docs. She was mentored by early EMS pioneer, Dr. Peter Safar, and became involved in one of the first paramedic education projects in the United States: training members of the pioneering Freedom House Enterprises Ambulance Service in the Pittsburgh area. i84256217 |b1080005986044 |dcusmb |g@ |m231202 |h5 |x0 |t1 |i0 |j18 |k140527 |n07-19-2018 23:45 |o- |aRC86.7 |r.C38 2013 |vv.1

Caroline wrote Emergency Care in the Streets, a textbook which was the first of its kind for paramedic training. [1] Israel and Magen David Adom [ edit ] Cardiovascular Emergencies: Updated discussion of managing cardiac arrest in the adult patient; Expanded discussion of the risk factors for coronary heart disease . Caroline was working until her death in 2002. She remained an adjunct visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh's medical school and, on a volunteer basis, as a physician and medical adviser of Magen David Adom, the Oncology Department of the Sheba Medical Center, and the Tel Hashomer Hospice. [2] For the last fifteen years of her life, she dedicated her work to cancer treatment and hospice care in Israel. In 1995, concerned about the limited options she saw in hospice care in Israel, she founded the Hospice of Upper Galilee (HUG). [5] Safar initiated the Freedom House project, in which people from the Hill District were trained to be ambulance attendants. He delegated much of the work to Dr. Caroline, asking her to teach them to become paramedics. The program was very successful. Among other books, she wrote “Emergency Care in the Streets,” a textbook that was the first and, for a decade, only resource for paramedic care. It is currently in its fifth printing. Environmental Emergencies: New review of the terminology relating to the EMS specialty of wilderness EMS; Expanded coverage of the importance of regulating body temperature and fluid levels; Updated procedures for managing heat-related emergencies, including current (2020) AHA resuscitation guidelines.During the late 1970s, spurred by the fact that paramedics had to utilize nursing or medical textbooks that did not take into account EMS’ unique working environments, she authored the now-revered original paramedic textbook, Emergency Care in the Streets . For a decade her book was the only resource available for paramedic care.
