Waldershof's mayor about accident: Rescue service shines when used!

In Waldershof there was a press conference of the district councilors of Tirschenreuth and Wunsiedel, as well as the clinics of North Oberpfalz and Fichtelgebirge. The occasion was to close the emergency room in the Tirschenreuth hospital. Despite this measure, there is positive news: The 12-minute period in emergencies continues to be observed, which means an important prerequisite for ensuring medical care for the affected communities. Mayor Margit Bayer, who was involved in a serious rear -end collision, also spoke of her personal experiences with the emergency services.

on September 25th, the day of her accident, Bayer was on the way to an appointment when the impact came. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the emergency services, she was able to get out of the situation unscathed. "There was no waiting time in the emergency room, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. I was examined comprehensively," reports the mayor and emphasizes the importance of the emergency services. These experiences show that despite the restructuring in the healthcare system, high quality of emergency care is still guaranteed.

The function of the rescue service

"The emergency services worked excellently," said Bayer. Although the driver of the other vehicle was unharmed, the rapid action of the emergency services was crucial. Dr. Josef Kick, Medical Head of the Northern Oberpfalz ambulance, confirms that the 12-minute period can be observed in the entire Region. "We only have a few minutes longer transport times, but the medical care of the patients remains unchanged," he adds.

This statement is also made by Dr. Tobias Uhing, the Medical Head of the special -purpose association for emergency services and fire brigade alarm in Hochfranken. According to Uhing, nothing has changed in the quality of the supply, even if the transport times have become slightly longer. "The emergency doctors are well trained and can effectively bridge the waiting times in an emergency due to their skills," he explains.

The importance of cooperation between the clinics becomes clear during this time. "Whether the emergency room in Tirschenreuth will remain open or not has no influence on the quality of medical care," emphasizes Wunsiedel's district administrator Peter Berek. Instead, sensible focus should be on the resources.

The district offices confirm that despite the closure of the emergency room in Tirschenreuth, the basic supply is not at risk. "The hospital itself remains open, and slight cases can continue to be treated there," emphasizes Tirschenreuth's district administrator Roland Grillmeier.

These changes are part of a more comprehensive strategy to improve medical care structures in rural areas that are necessary due to financial and structural challenges. From her personal experience, Mayor Bayer concludes that there is still room for improvements and that everyone involved should exercise more mindfulness. "We all have to be aware of our responsibility and use the existing resources efficiently," she appeals.

The reactions to the closure of the emergency room show that there are different opinions on the effects. Grillmeier expresses that the pessimistic view has not yet been correct. "We rely on close cooperation and a clever planning to ensure that patients receive the best possible care," he explains.

These developments show signs of flexible and adaptable health care in the region, which, despite the challenges, reacts to ensure patient care. The complete report on the situation and other details can be found in a current article at www.oberpfalzecho.de .
