I have a question there was an EMS call in our town and an EMT was reporting to call from home and was in an accident herself. Our service pages for another EMT to respond based on having our EMT in an accident. The EMT that responded to the extra EMT needed went straight to the scene of the page. During that time the EMT at the station decided to respond to the accident of our fellow EMT not the original page ( that was also an accident). Now the EMT that went by her self in her car to the original page was called by or chief and told to leave that scene and come to the accident of the fellow EMT.
In saying that. Our ems services a small neighboring community that has first responders that respond to all pages only and they pay for us to be there EMS serice and this is were the original call was. The EMT that responded on there own left the original scene to go to the other accident. Leving the pt with first responders but no EMT's. they had to wait for a ambulance form another community to show up.
I feel this is abandonment what are your thoughts???
