advanced trauma tourniquet
kits and specialized training
on their use, thanks to the generosity
and proactive efforts of Parrish Medical
Center (PMC), TeamHealth emergency physicians and the Jess Parrish
Medical Foundation.
The trauma kit disbursement and

chance of survival.
This training effort is
the brainchild of Khalid
Siddiqui, MD, medical
director of the PMC emergency department, and
Jorge Insignares, MD, assistant medical director of
PMC, both TeamHealth
emergency physicians.
This unified medical
front supports the application of tourniquets in
life-threatening situations, before
arrival at the hospital.
Two lives have been saved this year
in Titusville.
"The emergency department staff,
emergency medical services and the
Titusville Police Department are part of
first responders," Dr. Siddiqui says. "We
are all in the business of saving lives.
We all have common goals. We have
helped each other help our community."
Adds police Chief John Lau, "This
partnership is much more than just
Parrish Medical Center purchasing firstaid kits. This is Parrish Medical Center
teaching us how to use and apply these
kits out in the field to make our community much safer." ■
Titusville police officers receive tourniquet
kits from Parrish Medical Center along with
training on how to use them in emergency
situations.
