“He was sitting, probably had a small stroke and panicked and started grabbing at furniture,” she said. “If you can’t have a helping hand situation or a mutual aid agreement then are you about territory and profit or about saving lives?” she asked. “It was so brutal and so bad that the firefighters that were at my house that night called AMR and said, ‘Where are you?’” she recalled. “They were sitting there watching the same thing I was watching and couldn’t do any more about it.”reports that Council Vice-President Angelique Lee said that city leaders have been sounding the alarm about ambulance wait times for years.
He said the city is expected to issue a request for proposals for those services “very soon” and the city will require ambulance services to have mutual aid agreements. Grizzell explained that paramedics are considered “on the wall” when they’re waiting for hospitals to take in their patients. They can’t respond to additional calls until those patients are off-loaded.
