I will add that most transfer services have very well trained EMS

professionals, most of them more then the 911 providers. I have worked

in both private transfer company and a city 911 service. You know the

funny part of it is most of the employees at the city service came from

and currently were working for a private transfer service. So before

anyone should say that " most private employee used to work for 911

ambo's first. Doubt it! Said they are just as good at being MICU. Doubt

it!! The body haulers around these parts generally do the wrinkled butt

shuff and have very minimal EMS experience since they don't run 911. " I

think you need to think before you speak. How do you think a private

service can pay more then a city run service, transfers make the money

in this business. I suggest you think before you post a message about

private companies and transfer services.

Proud as a peacock because a private can do just as

good if not better than a 911. This does not apply

everywhere. But at this point and time in Texas most

911 are complaining about the Transfer companies

responding 911. In the RGV for example one 911

provider can't seem to realize that the other 150

units out on the road have better chances of coming up

to an MVC than their 15 units. Thus they take up our

reps time with their whining. Now here I do not think

we have the problem they have in Goliad where they

claim that transfer companies respond code 3 just to

make up for time. I have yet to see that here. Most

medics here in the RGV have worked for a 911 company

before and are experienced. The 911 companies just

can't match the current pay rates of the transfer

companies. And now the state wants to change the

license wording to reflect the type of provider you

are. This to benefit the 911. As one TRAC member

told me, " It will guarantee money to the 911

providers. " But that means more workload. And no 911

provider can guarantee putting out more trucks to

match the workload. They all want to do more with

what little they have. This in turn is going to hurt

the patient.

Also to add this, I pray that you can see the error

of your statements and make a blanket apology. If you

had spent any time in the business,you would not make

an uneducated statement like the one which was posted.

The last statement should have been; I suggest you think before you post

a message about private companies and 911 services. Sorry

Most do not have the resources to do this, especially when the vehicles

To a non-medical police officer this is NOT obvious. Most police don't

know thing ONE about EMS, much less patient assessment.

There's NO good way for the police to know this... not the routine

patrol officer. An investigator maybe... someone who could look things

up after the fact. But, with HIPAA, this gets somewhat more

complicated because EMS services and hospitals are more reluctant to

provide information without subpoenas and a note from the patient's

mother... :)

That's not what happened when Curtis was killed in Houston. I remember

that very vividly... a small mention was made, but 99% of the

story/stories were about the PARAMEDIC killed while in the back of an

ambulance... and the status of the patient.

I agree with this completely. In fact, my POLICE department has very,

very strict rules on the use of emergency equipment. Granted, we've

got a lot of leeway (and the law gives us as police much wider latitude

with respect to operating our vehicles, emergency lights, etc.)... but

my particular department sets forth very detailed guidelines with

respect to my use of emergency equipment, my driving responsibilities

and my absolute requirement for due regard to public safety. I run hot

very, very little - and I'm accountable each time I do. I don't WORRY

about it - I just make sure that I can justify what I do.

It's kind of like a saying Dr. Racht has - " You can do /anything/

*once*. " Point being - you might do it a second, third or fourth time

if you can justify doing it the first time - just be ready to justify

why you did what you did and make sure it was reasonable, prudent, and

relatively (to the situation) safe.

I think you do too - I think you're just viewing the situation more

narrowly than may be prudent. It's a big state, and most assuredly a

big problem - but the solution that works in one place probably won't

work everywhere.

Just could not keep my mouth shut. I have worked both private and municipal 911

and transfer service. I have found many good medics in private service, many

good medics in municipal service, a few good medics on flight service especially

in this area of south east Texas. But I have also seen many bad medics in all of

those service.. I think I have seen the most good medics in volunteer services.

The interesting thing is that 90 % of all those people had pt care first and the

RE: City / County Ordinances

Interesting point about privates running code 3. We are required to do

annual EVO training and the privates aren't. Mr. Capachino said most

private employee used to work for 911 ambo's first. Doubt it! Said they

are just as good at being MICU. Doubt it!! The body haulers around these

parts generally do the wrinkled butt shuff and have very minimal EMS

experience since they don't run 911. It tickles me when I see them come

into the ER after running RLS from a nursing home. They walk through the

ER proud as a peacock with their chests stuck out just wanting someone

to see them.

Louis I am 60 years old worked ems 38 years retired and am going back to work

part time for the competition you can bet it aint for the money lol I have a

good paying job now and am quitting to go back to ems work at 7 dollars an hour

less for the satisfaction I get doing it. I have been giving pt care since 1966

until 2004 I left a year and cant stand sitting at home knowing ( not really

sitting at home but not on a truck giving care ) I could be out helping some

body and not just sitting on my wrinkled butt at home. Yall wish me good luck on

my new venture I hope to continue giving good pt care for the rest of my life,

after having a mi and living through it I know some things some of the young

guys don't and it is the support the patient needs is higher than just good

training and care they need mental support and that doesn't come from a desire

for a pay check. Sorry that some people don't seem to understand that whither a

pt is a 911 call or a transfer call they are afraid at the time of needing you.

I have transported my own doctor when he had his MI you cant believe the

strutting he did in the er about me when he got able to work again. Blow you own

horn but don't forget why you are working in your chosen profession, I worked

for the state prison system in house security and I just could not deal with the

way things are there wake up dude those are people ( humans ) you are dealing

with never ever think of a fellow human as beneath you. Sorry Louis I hope every

body understands that this was not addressed to you I got carried away again and

said more than I should have again. In closing respect your fellow medics and by

all means each and every one of your patients.

SAFD EMS will and does respond to Nursing homes if called. Most nursing

homes only call the private company that provides the non emergency transfers

for

them. Most of the time at a delayed response time to a FD EMS unit with no

First Response. A majority of this is lack of education on the staff part

because the Administrator says " Use only XYZ Ambulance "
