Dr. Nancy Caroline, 58, a Newton native who wrote the book on emergency medical services died of cancer yesterday in Metulla, Israel. Dr. Caroline was the author of “Emergency Care in the Streets,” a primer on prehospital care that has been an integral part of the training of thousands of emergency medical care technicians. First published in 1979, it is currently in its fifth printing. “Without Caroline’s work and support, EMS would not have evolved into the profession it has become,” said Dr. Bryan Bledsoe, author of “Paramedic Medical Care” and several other texts. When she was working at the hospice, the area was getting shelled by the Palestinians every other day,” said her brother. “I told her, `Why don’t you come home and set up a medical practice where it’s safe.’” Dr. Caroline replied, “At least the streets are safe. I know I can go out for walk after midnight if I feel like it.”Dr. Caroline attended Radcliffe College and got her medical degree from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. In 1973, she came to the University of Pittsburgh for training in critical care medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Peter Safar, renowned for his work in emergency medicine and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. One reason for her great impact was the fact that she is a caring, dynamic, compassionate ‘super doctor,’ a Renaissance woman and an eloquent writer,” said Safar in his 2000 memoir. “The [Freedom House] program gave Caroline the opportunity to demonstrate her exceptional skills in laying hands on victims in emergencies outside the hospital.”

Besides her brother, she leaves her husband, Dr. Lazarus Astrachan of Cleveland; and her mother, Zelda Caroline of Chestnut Hill. She insisted that mobile intensive care units were needed for serious cases and that every ambulance had to reach the patient within three minutes,” he recalled. “MDA medics thought she was crazy.” Nancy Lee Caroline, (June 27, 1944 – December 12, 2002), was an American physician and writer who worked in emergency medical services (EMS). She was a Medical Director of Freedom House, an emergency ambulance service that assisted underserved populations in Pittsburgh in the 1960s and 1970s. She was also the first medical director of Magen David Adom, Israel's Red Cross Society, and was later called by colleagues, "Israel's Mother Teresa".

A graduate of Newton High School and Radcliffe College, she earned her medical degree at Case Western Reserve University. “Nobody could tell her she couldn’t do something,” her brother, Peter, of Green Valley, Ariz., said yesterday. “They told her she couldn’t apply to Radcliffe when she was in her junior year at Newton High; she did and was accepted. They told her she couldn’t take a year off between high school and college, and she did. They told her she couldn’t take a year off between college and medical school and she did that, too. She took a year off to study linguistics or something.” Caroline was working until her death in 2002. She remained an adjunct visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh's medical school and, on a volunteer basis, as a physician and medical adviser of Magen David Adom, the Oncology Department of the Sheba Medical Center, and the Tel Hashomer Hospice. [2] For the last fifteen years of her life, she dedicated her work to cancer treatment and hospice care in Israel. In 1995, concerned about the limited options she saw in hospice care in Israel, she founded the Hospice of Upper Galilee (HUG). [5] The language of the Ninth Edition has been thoroughly and carefully reviewed to ensure gender neutrality, racial inclusivity , and nonstigmatizing descriptions of patient conditions. Caroline wrote Emergency Care in the Streets, a textbook which was the first of its kind for paramedic training.

Customer reviews

Each chapter of the Ninth Edition has been reviewed and enhanced. Some of the key enhancements include: In 1977, Dr. Caroline immigrated to Israel to become medical director of Magen David Adom, the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross. “She liked to be where the action was,” said her brother. From 1982 to 1983, she worked with the Flying Doctors, providing medical care to the needy in East Africa. Upon her return to Israel, she got additional training in oncology and established the Hospice of Upper Galilee, a nonprofit that provides comprehensive palliative care. That was before she was diagnosed with cancer. The organization she founded would ultimately treat her in her final illness. Obituary: Dr. Nancy Caroline / A leader in preparing non-physicians to provide emergency medical care She had maintained her status as a visiting professor in Pitt’s anesthesiology and critical care department. In February, a two-year research fellowship was named in her honor. Safar initiated the Freedom House project, in which people from the Hill District were trained to be ambulance attendants. He delegated much of the work to Dr. Caroline, asking her to teach them to become paramedics. The program was very successful. Among other books, she wrote “Emergency Care in the Streets,” a textbook that was the first and, for a decade, only resource for paramedic care. It is currently in its fifth printing.
