Hello all, I'm new to this forum and i think it is great! Maybe i can get some good advise on a situation.
I currently work for an ambulance company in orange county, california. I have worked here for about 6 months. The company is great. I just have one concern. This company routinely sends crews to pick up patients in los angeles county. Now, from what i understand from the L.A. county EMS office, The ambulance (not the EMT's) must be certified in L.A. county in order to pick up in that county. Other EMT's have brought it up to managements attention but they just brush it off. I have already emailed the L.A. county ems office on this issue but have not heard a response yet. Actually, a large group of EMT's got together and somehow i got elected to get clarification on this matter. i am just asking for any advise. Thanks.
