In.u.s place, the ~ollege has created a woefully inadequate system that puts Housefellows with mini- mal medical trammg as the pnmary contact for medical emergencies. One of the biggest problems is the pressure that these changes pUIon the Housefellows, who now have the added responsibility of making rounds. , Housefellows are not trained EMTs; their only recourse is to call Campus Safety or an ambulance. This places both Housefellows and students in an awkward position, and may lower the likelihood of a student calling his or her Housefellow for fear of disciplinary repercussions. Referring students to L&M also raises a variety of issues in itself. The hospital does not take the CC insurance plan and rejects many national plans held by Conn students, The required expenses associated with admittance to a hospital (including transportation, hospital processing fees, and charges for care or medication) are new and unfair j~xpeoses. The Health Center feels optimistic about our new insurance plan and the hours instituted this year. Cate Moffet, Director of Health Services mentions an easily accessible website and magnets which outline the recommended pro- cedures for emergency situations as benefits of the new program.
