What will the S.O.P. be for someone whom, say, needs EMS care at, oh I don't know, HVHC? Would that be BLS, ALS or KSA?

KSA being Kick Someone's A$$?

Yeah, what was the deal with that call? I was on 35medic2 that night and heard 39medic1 going to it. They sounded thrilled. ](*,)

Found out tonight. Apparently someone with a stubbed toe was at HVHC and annoyed that it was taking so long to get seen at the ER. They walked outside and called 911 and requested they be taken to NWHC. :roll: I guess the finally got smart before EMS arrived since they were GOA upon arrival.

We see a lot of that between the yonkers hospitals and mount vernon!!! People just don't know.

First line of questioning should be: Will that be Cash or Credit?

Just wanted to write a quick note of thanks to those whom actually took the time to say congratulations. I look forward to interacting with some of you on here with what little time I'll have between taking care of business for the PFD.
