A while ago Men's Health magazine asked their readers to tell their EMS Horror Stories, things like long waits, incompetent EMT's and the like. People in the EMS community responded in force, sending letters to the editors of the magazine, pleading our case. Apparently, they listened. What could have been an exploitative, negative article turned out to be a well researched and written story that, I think, tells an honest story of what is going on out here.
Kudos to Steve Volk and Men's Health
I had posted the article here but it occured to me that there may be some copyright infringements or something like that. Below is the link to the article. You will have to copy it to your browser because I still haven't figured out how to add links here, although some very patient people have tried to walk me through the process

Great advice on marking your place so they can find you. It's a pain when the numbers jump all over the place, and no one is there to lead you to the victim. We have one street here that literally goes from 14 to 20, and two roads are spelled with only one different letter in the middle. Be clear.
bout time that article was made, glad they did a good job from what we told them
