What a smart decision, huh? Apparently someone wasn't "following the rules by the book" :roll:

A private ambulance company in Memphis is charged with violations including not always having a licensed EMT on board and transporting patients in the front passenger seat.

Wow. that is scary to think that that could happen with a private company. Almost makes you wonder if it is happening with any city departments? I for one hope not. Not good at all. Puts a bad name on the rest of the industry.

that shows there are people out there who are willing to cut corners to save a buck and put peoples lives at risk

Ha, patients in the front seat . . . aka the attendant wanted to take a snooze in the stretcher....they were probably safer in the front though unless they were in danger or coding or something like that.

We've had many joking conversations about just staffing the ambulances with illegal immigrants (day laborers) that hang out in front of Home Depot. That's pretty much all we are in LA (facetious...well haflway)

PS, lol at the following story at the end of the EMS news clip being "Firefighter arrested" with handcuffs picture. They just pounded public safety that night, huh
