A WAKE COUNTY EMS MEDIC GOT HOPELESSLY LOST LAST MONTH while transporting a patient suffering from a reaction from medicine. According to the patient, Valerie Marino and the report filed by the ambulance crew, the driver didn’t know how to get from her house in Cary, North Carolina, to the hospital, also in Cary.

After studying some maps with Marino laying on the cot in back, he took off in the wrong direction still not knowing where he was going. After driving along the Cary Parkway he pulled into a shopping center and out of desperation asked somebody in the parking lot how to get to the hospital.
His excuse for getting lost was that the ambulances GPS system was not working. (Firegeezer wonders if the street drills are working either?)

“For them not to know how to get to the hospital from an established neighborhood in Cary to a hospital that’s been there for years, on roads that have been there for years, that’s pretty frightening,” Valerie Marino said.
