My nephew is a paramedic with NOEMS. No one is surprised by this...only in New Orleans...anal thinking to the max. What makes it worse is the fact that the ambulance fleet is falling apart...if the EMS people can`t fix them they rot in a maintenance yard with dozens of others. ONE mechanic on duty. Oh and the EMS people are STILL working out of a small trailer-7 YEARS post Katrina. There are few hospitals and calls to the Eastern part of the city can mean an hour wait or longer for travel to and from call. Long time EMS people are leaving(my nephew included) and are told _”We don`t need you” when they try to volunteer part time. Now all of this AND businesses who call are going to boot ambulances.!! ?? Morons! Lets just say the inside talk is that this business isn`t going to get fast service if they call again + EMS personnel are talking boycott.
