In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Steve McGraw and Dr. Russell Faust. Dr. McGraw is an ED physician at Ascension Providence Hospitals in both Southfield and Novi, Michigan. Doc is also the current Oakland County Medical Control Authority EMS Medical Director which provides oversight to over 50 EMS agencies. Dr. Faust is the Medical Director of Oakland County Health right here in Southeast Michigan. Together, these guys have been major part of EMS’ understanding and response throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic.
Even though we are located in Southeast Michigan and we mention our home state a lot, most of the EMS on AIR content applies to EMS on the national and even the global scale. This episode speaks to how our local system has been preparing for the availability of COVID-19 vaccinations. We do address the topic from a national perspective, but we’ll be using Oakland County and many other areas of Michigan, as an example of how large systems are preparing for the next stage of this unfamiliar process.
Dr. Faust will lead us off with an update of the current COVID trends, as of November 24, 2020. Russ provides a nice overview of the national, state and local COVID updates and information. Then, the docs compare and contrast the first wave of COVID in April 2020 to the current wave of COVID we’re seeing in late November early December 2020. We wrap up the discussion with a focus on the current status of COVID-19 vaccinations and how EMS may be used in mass administration process to the public. This is a very informative episode that I really enjoyed, and I hope you do, too.
