Emergency Medical Technicians Transporting a Patient
No full textIn 1972, the National Academy of Science —National Research Council analysis showed that the federal government had yet to develop a cohesive policy, nor had it sufficiently advanced EMS. A year of intensive political activity following that report resulted in the EMS Services Development Act of 1973. The Act signaled a major shift in EMS. Until then, it was under the purview of the Department of Transportation and was seen primarily as a transportation service. Photographed here is a team of emergency medical technicians (EMT) carefully transporting a patient into an ambulance in 1977.https://academicworks.medicine.hofstra.edu/siuh_photo_archive/1033/thumbnail.jp

Today, gas chromatography aids in the large-scale detection of impurities in bodily fluids, food products, drugs, and environmental research.https://academicworks.medicine.hofstra.edu/siuh_photo_archive/1009/thumbnail.jp
