YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBob Gadd, a retired paramedic who lives in the Athens area, speaks out about the state of emergency medical services in Athens. He references one recent 911 call where it took nearly 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive and asks the mayor and commission to start moving towards a fire department-based public EMS service.
"My name is Bob Gadd, a recently retired paramedic after 43 years of public service with 36 of those years serving the citizens of Athens Clarke county. I made this video to express my heartfelt concerns to ACC mayor and commission about the current state of our EMS. In all my years as a medic I believe we’ve reached a new low and are even going backwards.
Please be aware this video was made prior to our discovery that ACCFD was training their personnel to be Advanced EMT’s but is not equipping them to perform at their level of training. This adds to the already poor EMS response and is inexcusable and should be accounted for. After watching this video, ask yourself what’s the most important thing in your life. Well, for me, it’s life itself.
That’s exactly, exactly what this is all about.
Thank you for your time
Bob Gadd"
