Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 i have been watching over the years the services that have come and gone locally and nation wide. i always got the filtered versions(kinda like when someone calls 911, and then the final product that you get from the gossip chain) from wherever the sources of information exist, adn whether it be that the owner just got tired of running the buisiness and sold out to the " company " made bad descisions and now the consequece is that they get shut down. i'm still fairly new in ems(ok so i am still a rookie who is soaking wet behind the ears), so idon't have the experience to know the structures and formats that help a " company " to survive. i guess what i am asking what would make up a utopia for an ems company? whether it is a realistic idea or not, i just want to know. i know that a lot of people have been in this buisiness for a while and have probably said once or twice, " well if i was in charge, i would do it this way. " just something to ponder. i like to collect words of wisdom, cause if you know me you know that i need all the wisdom i can saturate myself with.

The people still pay. Just not directly - but they still pay the same amount, it's just that some of it is abstracted through the federal government.
