Worst names for an ambulance service...

Amazing clinicians, excellent education and medical oversight. I would love to practice in their environment, but as a career move I would not work there. Things are not from what I have seen myself and heard from current and former medics improving since it was moved from Provincial/private to the current private, non-profit/mini-fiefdom for their CEO.

Apparently Pineapple Express Ambulance is now just Express Ambulance (do they do packages and priority mail too?).

Also, ironically, it appears that they operate Ford E-Series ambulances, as opposed to the alternative ones based on the Chevy Express.
 
some of these names are hilarious...I thought (still do) that LA County was bad...lol

Also, I will add "ambu-" anything. And "trans-"...
 
I still chuckle at New Orleans EMS being initialed as NOEMS. It is kinda true though.

How about the District of Columbia EMS' new name: DC FEMS? It's not only a feminine name but curses EMS at every mention " eff EMS". I'm sure the firefighters love it.

I think anything that has "life" or "care" in it is just tired.

In our area we have LifeCare (stupid also because of the random capitalization), also Lifeline. There's a company called Forrest Ambulance, and to make sure they are keeping up with the caring people they lettered "We Care" in quotes in all four sides of the box

I think when someone puts "Care" in the name, like in a nursing home or ambulance name, they are compensating for lack of care :-) Because it seems the very worst places have "care" in the name.
 
around here, we have.....

the standard, interchangeable "MedStat", "First Call", "Pro-Med", and "Lifeguard". With those you could basically mix and match the first and second words of each for hours of fun of creating your own name ........ex. "FirstMed" or "LifeStat". The one that might trip you up would be "MedMed". :o

There's also "EMPACT", Regional, Liberty, and Rural/Metro.
 
around here we have Pro-Transport 1.

Never really got the name.

Why the "one?"

Then they are called a whole amalgamation of combos such as Pro-T, Pro-1, Transport-1 and Pro-Transport. It's like throwing darts...

Soldiers EMS. And they exist. And their ambulances hurt my eyes.

here in jersey i've seen Friendly Care, GEM, LifeStreams, AMBICAB, Medi-Taxi, Trans-Med, People Transport, Sunny, Virgo, Bell Medical, and my personal favorite FUCHS EMS. I'm sure there's more to see and I shall post more if I do. Btw Bullets I actually used to work for Always Caring or as we called Never Caring, but the decussion about them is a WHOLE new thread.
