Hello all,
I'm Matt, a research writer for the AM Best Company in New Jersey. I write reports that underwriters use to write insurance policies for companies/non-profits/industries. For example, I'm updating a report from the late 1990s regarding Ambulance Services and Rescue Squads. It's horribly out of date, and that's where I'm hoping some friendly EMTs/Paramedics on this board might come in.
I'm respectfully asking you to school me on how things have changed in your field over the last decade and a half. As technology and medicine both change, so will your jobs, I imagine.
So what I'm interested in knowing is:
1. What types of new equipment do you find in your vehicles?
2. What types of medicines/drugs are commonly kept in the back of ambulances?
3. What would you tell someone -- me, for instance -- regarding steps you must take not only to safeguard yourself against lawsuits, but your squad, too?
I have loads more questions, but wanted to introduce myself first. Anything you tell me would be used in general terms to help me gain and understanding of your work. I can acknowledge your help at the end of my report, if you like, but I would have to verify you are who you say you are.
I'm not looking to expose trade secrets or anything like that. Really, it's to help underwriters know what types of insurance to write, and what to look for in determining the EMTs they're insuring are qualified for the job, and are doing things the right way.
Send me a message if you're interested in learning more, and I hope to hear from you!
Matt
