Toomes, 824-7680 CALENDAR Staffreports When it comes to a stroke, every second counts. And with the ex- pansion of Telemedicine technology for stroke, otherwise known as Telestroke, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff and Mercy Med- ical Center Mt. Shasta join Mercy Medical Center Red- ding's Primary Stroke Cen- ter in offering immediate, coordinated stroke care for thousands of residents in the north state region. "Telestroke brings highly specialized care into smaller communities," said Doug Winter, St. Elizabeth Emergency Department manager. "It's a privilege to offer this level of stroke care closer to home… when our patients need it most." Using robotic technol- ogy, Telestroke connects patients experiencing stroke-like symptoms to an on-call stroke specialist at the Sacramento-based Dig- nity Health Neurological Institute. The Telestroke equipment is wheeled into the treatment room where the stroke specialist zooms in on the patient through the camera, conducts an assessment and exam, and talks with the patient, ER physician and family mem- bers. After reviewing the patient's history and imag- ing studies, the stroke spe- cialist recommends a treat- ment plan. "Being able to rapidly as- sess stroke patients is criti- cal, because 'time is brain,'" said Lisa Bennett, Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta Emergency Services di- rector. "It's amazing what Telestroke means for both the patient and their fam- ily. It's like the neurologist is right there in the room." In addition to the recent Board Certification of two Neurocritical Care Inten- sivists at Mercy Redding's Primary Stroke Center, emergency nurses at all three Dignity Health North State hospitals are now cer- tified to administer tissue plasminogen activator — a powerful clot-dissolving drug that, when adminis- tered following a certain type of stroke, can counter- act or significantly reduce the devastating effects. However, it's important that people seek timely care following a stroke, because patients can only benefit from tPA during a small window of time. "Through a unified re- sponse, our ER physi- cians and specially trained nurses use Telestroke tech- nology to give patients time-critical treatment with the best possible out- come," said Deb Wedick, Mercy Stroke/North State Telemedicine coordinator. During a stroke, it takes only one second for 32,000 brain cells to die and min- utes before a person is permanently disabled. Stroke is the fourth lead- ing cause of death in the United States, the num- ber one cause of adult dis- ability, and something that can affect anyone regard- less of age, gender or eth- nicity. Stroke is an emer- gency that is treatable, es- pecially if you get to an ER quickly. It's important to know the warning signs of stroke, whcih are facial droop or uneven smile; arm numbness or weak- ness and slurred speech and difficulty speaking. Timing is critical; call 911 immediately. Visit mercy.org for more information about Telestroke services and redding.mercy.org for more information about Mercy Medical Center Redding's Stroke Center. HEALTH Hospital group expands stroke care Staff reports Passages Health Insurance Counsel- ing and Advocacy Program received several reports of a phone scam that threatens beneficiaries with arrest un- less they immediately pay a large sum of money. In this scam, a beneficiary receives a phone call from someone saying he is with the FBI. The caller informs the beneficiary that he or she has an outstanding war- rant and needs to pay $1,500 to avoid arrest. The caller then says something like, "I am sending one of my deputies over in one hour to pick up the money. If you do not pay the $1,500, I will con- tact the sheriff's department to arrest you." If a beneficiary protests or asks what the warrant is for, the caller usually cites a specific legal code that was vio- lated to sound official. The caller also often leaves a name and phone number, but it is fictional and a burner cell phone, meaning the number cannot be traced. If you or someone you know is called regarding this or a similar scam, let HICAP know by calling 1-800-434-0222, or the Senior Medi- care Patrol at 1-855-613-7080.
