That’s a double bill on the same trip! Great for the company! Getting conscious patients paired with unhealthy EMTs will be the challenge for replicating this success.
The City of New York/ FDNY did a hostile takeover of city EMS because they were going to lose a massively lawsuit over their decades of discriminatory hiring practices.
EMS has a lot more women, and is more racially diverse. So suddenly the city could point to all those “FDNY” employees who ain’t white
Men.
But FDNY Ems is a joke. Their wages are awful, they are not considered “uniformed” employees. (Pay and benefits are substantially lower then firefighters, who have less responsibility, and less work).
Their standards of care/protocols are the lowest in the nation, they have the worse employee turnover of any Ems midsized or large organization in the nation (they make private for profit Ems like AMR look good by comparison), and because EMS like any job in healthcare is a profession where experience is extremely important to good performance and outcomes, their high turnover and lack of experience employees is a huge problem.
Add to that a toxic workplace, that is actively against industry standards ( EMS are not provided proper stations for restocking, decontamination, downtime, etc), being posted on street corners or parking lots”. This is justified by “they are never not on a run for longer then 15 minutes” which means crews are never given a break, and are consistently run ragged in a job which mentally requires time away from the public, and to be able to emotionally and intellectually process events that just occurred. Which is a major reason why they have such burn out, because FDNY has ~ 1/5th the crews they should.
But it got the city out of being sued for their blatant racism.
How absolutely infuriating. EMTs should be getting hazard pay as far as I am concerned.
I once saw an EMT go toe to toe and get a belligerent officer to back off a crashed driver with possible head trauma. It was the most badass thing I had seen in awhile.
Being from the UK this needs confirmation. But I do believe FDNY have a lot of ambulances as they regularly act as first responders alongside the police.

ultimate double dipping
Patient: "So, I showed the ambulance driver the bill for my previous ride."
Doctor: "How bad was it?"
Patient: "He was the heart attack victim that came in right before me."
I hate these fake things
Mmm yes this looks legit
Plot twist, the injured man turned out to be the ambulance drivers mother.
so they split the bill?
There’s a FDNY ambulance?
