Medics down…

4. July 2009 by [JP].

Just heard over the radio that an ambulance from the company I worked for briefly (the one i didnt like) rolled over while responding to a call. Both crew members were unrestrained (stupid) and were being rushed to the trauma center as level 2 trauma patients.It doesnt surprise me.
They have the worst employees… generally they get whats left after the other two private companies, the city, and the hospitals attract the better employees.
They have piss-poor equiment, all their rigs are hand-me-down used ambulances, most pushing well over half a million miles on the chassis.
Its poorly maintained equipment, their “garage” was the worst i’ve ever seen.
Their training practices are downright scary. The ONLY driver’s training that I had to do was go to defensive driving, so their insurance rates would be lower. No EVOC, no on the job training. Good thing I came from a good company who gave me all the training I needed.

With the way that company is run, i’m surprised they havent killed any employees yet.
