Description
Dr. Nancy Caroline, 58, a Newton native who wrote the book on emergency medical services died of cancer yesterday in Metulla, Israel.
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]
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.”
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. urn:lcp:nancycarolinesem0000caro:epub:81413408-42ec-4be4-824c-cb747eb77cee Foldoutcount 0 Grant_report Arcadia #4281 Identifier nancycarolinesem0000caro Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t6rz8s85g Invoice 2089 Isbn 9781449609221 Today’s paramedics are asked to do so much more than provide first-aid, conduct CPR, and transport patients.

She was mentored by early EMS pioneer, Dr. Peter Safar, and became involved in one of the first paramedic education projects in the United States: training members of the pioneering Freedom House Enterprises Ambulance Service in the Pittsburgh area. The Emergency Care and Safety Institute (ECSI)is an internationally recognized organization that provides world-class training resources in the areas of first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), automated external defibrillation (AED), infection control, and more. These print and digital resources lead to certifications that meet job-related requirements as defined by regulatory authorities such as OSHA, The Joint Commission, and state offices of EMS, education, and health. ECSI programs are offered in association with the AAOS and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). Obituary: Dr. Nancy Caroline / A leader in preparing non-physicians to provide emergency medical care Physician Nancy Caroline originally authored Emergency Care in the Streets in 1979. Nearly 43 years later her approach to simplifying complex material to readers continues to lead paramedic and emergency medical training in the United States and beyond.
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.” 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.

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.”
