A Day In the Life of An Ambulance Driver: For All You EMS Types...

I'm not sure if it's the line about brillo underpants or "If you want to look at the economic reality of fire-based EMS, the EMS runs make up roughly 80 percent of the run volume for departments that do both fire suppression and EMS transport. Yet you will find that nowhere in this country exists a fire department that funds its training and operations that way. In fact, it's usually just the opposite; they spend 80 percent of their budget, 80 percent of their promotional pathways, and 80 percent of their training on preparing for that 20 percent portion of their calls."

I *heart* AD. From his mouth to my ears.
