Did it occur to you gentlemen that you are taking individuals incidents

by INDIVIDUAL services and judging EVERYONE based on these

experiences...

Re: City / County Ordinances

,

I agree to a point. Yes, it does depend a lot on the quality of the

individuals working for a service; however, many of the private

providers

will try to

get by with as few units as possible to cover the emergency calls. I

had

worked for a private for profit provider that covered a particular

city.

About

80% of our calls were 911 and the other 20% were either hospital to

hospital

transfers or hospital back to the nursing home transfers. A new

manager came

to

town who wanted to increase profits by increasing our transfer load

and as

a

result, ambulances from neighboring areas were constantly running

911

calls

in the city. The medics that worked for this particular service in

this

town

were some of the best that I have ever worked with. Despite the fact

the

medics were excellent, the response time still suffered due to the

lack of

available units in service. You simply cannot skimp on 911 to make a

profit

with

transfers and expect to keep a contract for very long and I think

this is

the

point that some of the folks on this board are trying to make.
