No thanks, I love volunteering, and I can speak clear English, so obviously i do not qualify as a taxi driver.
Then you are obviously a supermedic compared to what we have in Delaware. They cannot deny a transport, nor can any EMT, regardless of level. ALS can BLS release, in which case the Basics transport on the ambulance, and the medics get back in the suburban and go back to quarters.
Great way to encourage new people. "I am older, therefore what i say goes, no discussion" Dont ya love where the system is going where people who want to join in are discouraged by people dumping on them all day?
So obviously my argument has some type of substance to it, since if i was older (not a better EMT, just one with more time) you would consider it?
In the county I'm from, medics who treat BLS like dirt don't last long. They either leave or learn to respect us.
