It's from The Daily Beast... they aren't exactly known for being objective and rational journalists... but they do have people who believe what they say, word for word... If the cop was shot too, I'm taking the cop first... if the cop has no complaints (as reported by the AP), and doesn't want...

I can 100% guarantee that if they have a policy that says they can refuse to serve anyone, it wasn't designed to refuse to serve ICE officers, or EMS personnel. During the overwhelming majority of the cases that hit the media, it's an employee doing something without the support of management...

ANDERSON, Ind. — Christina Hannah is an emergency medical technician in Madison County. She has often stopped at the Subway restaurant on Broadway Street on her way to work, especially on days she needs to grab something quick to eat. On Feb. 5, the EMT pulled into the drive-through at the...

They aren't smart gurneys... or wifi-enabled gurneys... as long as you remembered to charge the battery, they will work as good as intended

From the Seattle article: I agree with AMR; I think the lawsuit against them should be dismissed. The AHJ (in this case, Seattle), is 100% at fault here. They referred the caller to a 3rd party. They have no visibility to the ETA of the ambulance from AMR; they forwarded the call to the...

a few questions/comments 1) how did you keep your license with state A with a stalking conviction? typically when you lose your license for criminal activities in State B, they notify state B so they can decide if they want to take action. 2) NREMT isn't "holding your eligibility hostage"...

$$$$ We have had this in ambulances since the early 2000s... the only reason it isn't mandatory is there is no consequence for ambulance companies not having them. It's viewed as an optional cost that many places feel they don't need. Now, if insurance companies started to reject claims from...

What's your definition of small service? Urban/suburban/rural coverage areas? About 15 year ago, my former volunteer EMS agency was dispatched to about 4000 calls per year; during the daytime, we had a commercial service cover our calls. Our primary crew was typically in-house, while our...

I'm likely showing my ignorance here, but should every 911 rig have critical care equipment? with the proper staffing/training, I agree that a CCT ambulance can handle a 911 call, but a paramedic might not be fully capable of a CCT run. I do think that every 911 ambulance should have identical...
