More Ambulance Response Problems
THIS TIME IN SURREY, ENGLAND. A group of citizens is up in arms about reports that one in every three calls is handled by EMT’s only and no paramedic on board.
Apparently the county ambulance service is putting more paramedics on motorbikes and one-man response cars in order to “stop the clock” by arriving on the scene quicker. But they are limited to what service they can provide when they are alone and end up waiting for an ambulance along with the patient.
The Surrey Advertiser has the full STORY.
