I trust them with my health. I hope the supervision can get themselves straight and provide a good work environment for their employees and service to the public. I work with EMS on a regular basis.

It is their "higher ups" who think they can undermine their medical director and falsify documents. I think all the recent resignations are part of that. If Mr. Weaver did not know any of this was going on then he was and did not doing his job. If he knew then he was part of the problems. Dr. Edler is a great MD and medical director. She herself used to be a paramedic and was left with a crap show when she took over for the last medical director. This paramilitary atmosphere is left over from his military style atmosphere. Honestly, I think the good ol boy system is now coming back to bite them in the rectal region. So maybe it will disappear and will get some people that actually want and can do their job. @citizen—yes the EMS crews are all hard working and do a great job and service to the community.

I have seen the EMS and Fire here and can tell you they are hard working people and I have NOT seen anything that would be of concern. In fact, they appear to be professional and courteous.
