Indianapolis-based ambualnce service ordered to shut down

[Epi-do]

INDIANAPOLIS -An Indianapolis ambulance company has been ordered to shut down services immediately. State investigators call Samaritan Ambulance a danger to the public...

And people want to know why IFT companies get a bad rap. Even if these aren't the norm, they are the only ones that make the news, making it easy for people to then assume all of them are this bad.

Funny, I saw two guys in EMS uniforms walking out of Costco a couple weeks ago, and I looked close and saw "Samaritan Ambulance" on their patches. I thought to myself, "Hmm, Samaritan Ambulance, never heard of them."

Not a very good operation, apparently.

More than a few of LA County's ambulances should be shut down. That's not the worst case I've ever heard.

says sometimes they didn't have air-conditioning on board.

"We would have to open up the windows and to me that was unsanitary because you let in all the bacteria from the outside,"

Well, their maintenance and their employees' grasp of microbiology were lacking, but does anyone have info on the specific violations?

Also, "Illinois Homeland Security"? Srsly?
