It looks fun to watch, bt as has been said, according to everything I know about day-to-day EMS, it looks very dramatic. Like the "ER" of EMS.

Give an answer, fine. But don't whine about giving it.

mmmhmmm, well its nothing to be proud of <_<

Wow, I love how you all answer the question, then b&*^% about having to answer it afterwards.

Yes, I am aware, I was under the impression that private companies handled it differently though, no?

no use... you can't tell me everyone just forgets about it. And that doesn't seem like a good situation for a high poverty area where insurance is less than common.

Oh come on, do you really think I just got that from a patch? I just mis-read the information. And in a way I was still right, depending on what extant the argument entailed (look at the original posts, I am not quoting them all right now)

So tell me, what is the process that happens after an uninsured person is transported by private EMS?(other than care, I mean as far as paying the bill and all)

I am not debating that private EMS should run emergency here, that is hardly an option in this city. So, therefore, FD EMS is better than NOTHING.

You said: So I responded with: And btw: Cincinnati is one of the most poverty stricken cities in America, debatably the poorist, so I don't think insurance is too common among the drug addicts and gang members that are commonly picked up by our EMS. Is it true that a private...

I can, and I do as in I can have an opinion and I do. And I certainly don't care if you like it or not.

yes, because private companies don't respond to 911 here.

I am not doubting there are too many FF's doing medic work just to look good as a FF. Trust me, there is a fair share of volunteer only FD's around here that are almost all this way. But look at some FD EMS, for instace FDNY. They have a very qualified and dedicated group of FD medics and a...

I can, and I do.
