Richard Bra4 ol Lawton marcbes outside the federal building in Oklahoma City to protest a cutback in emergency room services at the Lawton Indian Hospital. Hospital administrator Dennis James says the change will put more professionals on the hospital floor during the day. Tribal Members Protest Indian Hospital Services Harry said. If not a true emergency, local hospitals will refer the Indian patient" to the Indian clinic for treatment the next day and the federal agency would pay the costs, Harry said. But if the patient chooses to use the emergency room of the private hospital in a non-emergency situation, Indian Health Services will not pay those costs, he said.

Tribal members fear their definition of an emergency will be different than that of the hospitals. "If my son has a fever of 104, that may not bs an emergency to them, but it's an emergency to me and I'm taking him in," said Willie Quoetone, a Kiowa tribal member: Allene Woodard, a member of the Kiowa Tribal Council and Indian Health Board, says the emergency room at ihe Lawton Indian Hospital is "badly needed." She said seven tribes use the hospital and worries that the federal government will eventually close the Lawton hospital, as they might the hospital in Clinton. Congress is considering closing the Indian hospital in Clinton, which sees only about three patients a day, but not the Lawton hospital, Harry said. Still, Woodard says Indian Health Services is "not living up to their responsibility to provide basic health care to Indian people We are tired of IHS fooling around with us. They are not providing basic services." Harry said emergency rooms in Indian hospitals are being used in non-emergency situations about 80 percent of the time.

"Many times they come in the emergency room just wanting a prescription filled," he said. By Ed Godfrey Staff Writer Indian tribal members are upset about a plan to curtail emergency room services at the Indian hospital in Lawton, but a federal; official claims the proposed cutback is necessary due to understafSng. About 75 people protested Wednesday at the hospital, and approximately 25 people carried signs in protest outside the federal building in Oklahoma City, which houses Indian Health Services. The emergency room at the Law-ton hospital was scheduled to be scaled down from a 24-hour operation to staying open, only from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

beginning Oct. 6, said Dr. Robert. Harry, area director of Oklahoma Indian Health Services. Because of the shortage of doctors and nurses at the hospital, the emergency: room cannot stay open 24 hours without limiting services irr other areas, Harry said.

"But the plan to curtail the emergency room has been "put on hold" to: see if tribal members can come up with any better alternatives, Harry said. Manpower, not money, is most of the problem, Harry said. There is a shortage nationwide of medical personnel and Indian Health Services has difficulty competing with the private sector for doctors and nurses, he said. "Recruitment and retention has been a problem," Harry said. Under the proposal, tribal members would use the emergency rooms in other area hospitals after 8 p.m., Harry said.

But under those conditions, Indian Health Services will pay only the costs if it is deemed by physicians to be an actual emergency of "life and limb," songs HEAR FROM YOUR FAVORITE THE LAST FIFTY YEARS.
