Paramedics. Patient records. Summer hit. Weather forecast.

Paramedics

First, news about paramedics.

They always put on a bulletproof vest at the beginning of their shift.

The vest protects against, for example, knife attacks if the patient is violent.

The new law protects paramedics more than before.

Violence against a paramedic can now be punished more severely than before. The penalty can be up to 4 years in prison.

Violence has increased as mental health problems and substance abuse have increased. Problems are most common on weekends and in the evenings.

Paramedic Janne Karvonen has held the patient in place because the patient tried to hit.

“I couldn’t pack up because of that situation. If I had packed up, it would have been a disaster.”

Patient records

Now, news about healthcare.

There are variations and errors in patient data recording.

Ronja Pöyhönen from Turku noticed this when she read her own information on the Omakanta service.

The information said that Pöyhönen had a mental health problem even though he had a brain tumor.

Aalto University has examined patient data.

Researcher Saija Simola says that some of the entries are inappropriate and may offend the patient.

For example, a doctor may write that the patient is difficult or mentally ill.

Due to incorrect information, the patient may receive the wrong treatment.

Researchers have now given doctors instructions on how to record the information.

Summer hits

Finally, some news about music.

Social media now has a big influence on which songs become summer hits.

Vet Pillows is a trio that is not yet familiar to many Finns.

Its song “Summer of Love” has started to spread on social media.

That’s why listening to the song has also increased significantly on the streaming service Spotify.
