Just read something pretty disturbing, especially coming from the POTUS: “The president did not understand the resentment over the term Ambulance Driver. He said it is an accurate description of the job. Quote ‘they work in ambulances, an ambulance is a motor vehicle, a motor vehicle needs a driver, thus they must be ambulance drivers’. Those were his exact words… Let me tell you Obama was mad that the EMS community focused on some term and not his overall message of closing the gap on inequality and creating upward mobility.” Heres my quarrel with the term ambulance driver. First off not anyone can be an ambulance driver. Theres schooling and certifications to be an Emergency Medical Technician. Whether the level is Basic, Intermediate and Paramedic people had to go to school to learn to read squiggly lines and push medications. An ambulance driver is not called for a vehicle collision, a person experiencing chest pain, a child having febrile seizures or a person who is lacking the proper nutrition to maintain their glucose (sugars). An ambulance driver doesnt crawl in thru a crushed car trying to immobilize a persons cervical spine to prevent further damage if any was caused. You see Mr. President not everyone is as fortunate as you to have a medical staff at their side when a sniffle occurs. The regular public calls 911 or schedules an ambulance so their loved ones can be transported to maintain life.
