just a few points,
A. not all paid EMT’s spend off time eating donuts
B. not all Hazolah members are selfless
C. there was a major accident the other night in
Nassau County where a charter bus with 38 students
and 5 adults slammed into an overpass which
sheared off the entire roof. Nassau EMTs and local
volunteer units responded so quickly that within 30
minutes all the injured had been triaged and on their
way via ambulance to hospitals
D. the speed of the ambulance and use of
the siren are not indicative of how caring
The EMTs are, at least in Nassau.
years ago I passed out in shul.and the Nassau
EMTs came immediately. During transport I asked
why no siren and why they were. observing speed limits and traffic laws. They said that when its
determined, as in my case, that the patient was
not in danger, they can’t use the siren or ignore
traffic laws as that would create needless accidents
