Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason that the use of erythropoietin as a drug is banned in the Olympics and some other sports also.
Introduction: Erythropoietin is a peptide hormone, which is released by the kidney. The kidney hormone is useful to stimulate the secretion of approximately 90 percent of red blood cells in the blood, to carry oxygen. The release of erythropoietin in the blood can cause hypoxia due to an inadequate supply of oxygen to the tissue level.

EMS Communication case study
A call comes in to the 9-1-1 center for a female patient complaining of suddenly not being able
to move her left arm and leg normally. The dispatcher asks the patient a series of questions from
a set of cards, and then transmits the call to your agency's data terminal and over the EMS radio
system.
1. What are some of the roles of EMS dispatch?
2. How do the concepts of encoding and decoding apply to the call to this point?
Based on the information received from the dispatcher, your agency sends your ALS ambulance,
and you quickly arrive at a neatly kept suburban household. You are let into the home by the
patient's husband who leads you to his 70-year-old wife sitting in the family room. The patient is
able to speak but slurs words slightly. You start to assess her and ask questions about what she is
feeling, and what has occurred to this point.
