Full Story
Many people will be surprised to learn that
fires actually account for a small amount of fire department responses.
Well, we have assistant fire marshal and educator Roy Zoellner with us today
and he’s going to share tips on how to keep your family safe.
fire marshal〈米〉消防保安官◆消防規則を順守させ、火災原因を調査する役職で、消防署に属することが多い。警察権を持ち、規則違反者や放火犯を逮捕することができる。
So, Roy, what kind of medical calls are you getting
and most importantly, what’s preventable?
Well, the Tulsa Fire Department,
we respond to everything from cardiac arrest to traumatic injuries
専門家が良く使う”定義付けフレーズ”「〇〇は・・・・です。」というフレーズを練習しましょう。ポイントは関係副詞whereで一文にすることです。professionalな一文が出来上がります。
The XX is a disease/injury/medical state…. where you/we …….
The vegan is a diet where we eat plant based foods.
ex. your heart stops due to（により） …….
会話ではgetを多用します。getの様々な用法に慣れましょう。
I have a cold
I got a cold
「怪我する」一つとっても様々な言い方があります。医師が使う専門用語、一般人が使う言葉、子供が使う言葉、話す相手に応じて使い分けます。
hurt (injure) oneself
I hurt myself
I get hurt /I got hurt
get=become
injury
X I got an injury
injure
I am injured.
I got injured.
and you’re right in what you said earlier,
over 80% of Tulsa Fire Department calls are medically related emergencies
and so we have paramedics on our fire trucks who can perform advanced life support
and so one of the most common callsthat we receive,
that is preventable, are falls
andfalls are the most common cause of brain injuries.
And each year 3 million adults are treated in emergency rooms for fall injuries
and every year 300,000 older adults are hospitalized for hip fractures.
But, the good news is doctors, these falls are preventable.
So Roy, tell us, what’s your first piece of advice?
Well, the first thing people should do if they find themselves unsteady
is to make an appointment with their doctor, talk about their medications,
any previous falls and or health conditions that might be contributing to imbalance.
And interesting enough you say to prevent falling, keep moving.
Yes,you’ve gotta keep moving.
Physical activity can go a long way towards fall prevention
and there are many exercise routines that older adults can do to increase their strength and balance.
Foot wearcan play an important part as well.
Yes, wear sturdy shoes that give you stability.
I know it sounds simple, but this can help prevent falls.
Absolutely, comfortable shoes, shoes with the right heel, the right support, can prevent those falls in the first place
and you also suggest that people need to look around their homes, their environment, for potential tripping hazards. Tell us about that.
Yes, remove any hazard or anything you could trip on.
Take a look around and for example, rugs or extra furniture in tight spaces, remove those things.
All they’re gonna do is provide for a trip hazard and limit your mobility and movement.

morbidity 罹患率
modality モダリティ◆X線、超音波、MRIなど、医療用画像における撮画手段
This is something you mentioned, Roy and I wouldn’t have thought of it,
but it’s so, so important, people need to check the lighting that they have in the household.
Yes, turn on the lights, keep your home brightly lit to avoid tripping on objects that might be hard to see.
And if you know of somebody who is having difficultly with mobility issues, they need to get help. They need to get a assistance, right?
Right, the big thing is use assistive devices if you need them.
Whether it’s a walker or a cane and talk to your doctor to see if that would be best for you
and also make sure you have grab bars in certain areas like in the bathroom and shower.
There are a lot of people who experience falls in those places.
They sure do.
Great tips, Officer Roy Zoellner. Thanks for sharing with us today.
Hey, thank you very much for having me.
All right, hope to have you back soon.
