I apologize if this is a repeat thread, but I was wondering if anybody actually prefers using van ambulances opposed to box type.
I know starting my career, I worked for a department that ran 5 boxes and two vans. The two vans were only used in all calls and special events. Most people dreaded a van. However, the new company that I work for runs both, five boxes and five vans. We primarily run 911 but are contracted with a local hospital for mental health transfers. I have actually come to like them in normal situations. I have actually found them to be quite pleasing in cardiac arrests on a shocking note. The closer bench seat allows me to plant my behind completely on seat and the closer captain seat allows me to maintain an appropriate seal and bag.
