Bk613
You are conflating two points and confusing the issue.
The numbers you give have to do with the fact that nyc ems covers millions of citizens vs hatzolah who is basically only servicing the Jewish population.
Paying them would not change the numbers at all.
You actually made my point.
It’s numbers treated that gives the possibility of experience.
Hatzolah members actually are full time. They just do worthwhile pursuits while not on calls.
As opposed to NYC ems workers who sit around and do nothing because they are getting paid anyway.
When a call comes in they have no incentive to get there nor to get the job done. They are being paid either way. As long as you can’t prove negligence they are fine
Hatzolah members on the other hand
Are motivated by a desire to save a life
Want to take care of the issue properly and quickly. Remember they are giving us their job, voluntarily to do so. That shows dedication, gives motivation and demands proficiency. None of which exists in the NYC ems system.
Just listen with your eyes closed next time you hear a siren.
If it takes more than 3-5 seconds to go down your block it’s not hatzolah.
And let’s not forget the difference between brains and brawn.
Experience may be the greatest teacher, but with brains, your experience can be my teacher
