Dr. Bledsoe,

WOW, you can take this several ways. Is this guy

looking to be flamed? I do believe he needs to be

educated of what we do, from the start up, billing,

runs (bad and good), and the most important

individual. When asked I always summarize our business

is that, " There are things in this world God should

not let a human being see, but through intense help we

make it another day. " I know this doesn't include our

many other task as education and promoting EMS, I find

it usually quites them.

I wonder how he'll feel if he ever needs EMS, and they can't respond, or no

longer exist?

Commissioners debate public EMS duties

By Tom Waddill/News Editor

Earl Autery is wary of anything that says, " EMS. " Those three

letters, and what they represent, are costing County big-time, says

the county commissioner from Precinct 2.

" In my opinion, EMS is a wasteful organization. It's going to bust the

county, " Autery said Monday.

" Something like that can eat you up real quick, " Autery said. " One of the

doctors I talked to told me (EMS) was a real wasteful thing that needed to

be privatized.

" Some people don't have any money to pay for that, " Gaines said. " It's not a

" No One thinks of a Ambulance (EMS) until they need one............. nor do

they want to pay for one with their tax dollars.

Unfortunately, this thought process is alive and well in Texas.

How do we deal with it? Just keep plugging away and educating your public

officials. They will pay either way, be it by paying the privates that they

have no control over or as a provider through the fire department,

hospital, city or county department. It takes a while for people to

understand what they will receive for their money.

Of course sometimes they will never understand. Don't give up, keep trying.

Notice his quote....

" Something like that can eat you up real quick, " Autery said. " One of the

doctors I talked to told me (EMS) was a real wasteful thing that needed to

be privatized. "

He's taking someone else's opinion as his own. He needs to spend sometime

learning (an we say rideouts) about the entity that he has some oversight on

as a county official in order to form his own opinion. I wonder what his

opinion is about the other emergency services funded by County.

Of course, this says a lot about the opinion of some of the local medical

community...who I'm sure would love to transfer their practice from the

nice, clean, comfortable office when they see patients during waking hours

to a small, cramped upside vehicle in a creek at 2 a.m.

Just my cynical thoughts,

Barry

Remember, most county commissioners care about two things -- taxes and their

road barns (I.E. big pretty yellow machinery). Anything besides that doesn't

register in their brain.

Just my cynical $0.02 on the nature of rural politicians.

No! He'll blame the poor administrator of the system for not having

more volunteers, ambulances, or something. These type of people never

see the forest for the trees. All they see is $ signs.

I gave up on Tonka toys years ago. One other thing they constantly

monitor...asphault prices.

Maybe his idea of growing his fiefdom is putting AEDs in the road graders, and

I have to agree with Larry, I have first hand knowledge of

this being the County Parks Director for Tom Green County.

Also Most Commissioners Have a tendency to start their

mouths without engaging their brain. Myron
