The Post's reports on EMS techs who post pictures of patients and comments about them online.
Let's hear it for the good technicians of New York's EMS ("Sick Vic Pics," March 31).
The cruel and shameful actions of some EMTs should not distract us from the respectful and compassionate work they do.
After I fell between the subway platform and the train, the two EMTs who carried me up the subway steps and took me to the emergency room were calming, careful and caring. I'd love to see exemplary EMTs like those two get the positive attention they so rightly deserve. Beth Goehring

What these men and women see day in and day out gives them a pass on this petty garbage The Post exposed.
Color, religion or IQ would not mean a thing if your life was on the line. Aggravating these fine people is akin to pissing off your waiter.

Medics are not EMTs. They are paramedics, and they have a much more extensive and rigorous education in medicine than technicians, who take a shorter course.
They both perform a vital service in EMS. Regardless, this behavior is disgusting. But the vast majority of the city's emergency workers are good and caring people, no matter what their title is or what branch they work for.
