Re: What Should I Do?

I agree with most...drop it. Can't believe 'customer service" is even considered with a 911 EMT call. It's almost laughable it's even being considered, but I'll respect the seriousness of the life/death situation. Hope your father is getting better.

I I'm not sure from the way your question was worded what are you called an ambulance service or 911. I have riden in many an ambulance but when I was facing very serious heath issues, I called 911. Those that respond to these calls are mostly Perimedics, but some are an EMT. So which was called for your father? I can give a more specific reply if you choose to reply to my question. Will leave it at that for now.

I would agree with others to let this one go. It's probably not worth the stress of pursuing this further.

So sorry about your dad. I think it must have been very stressful for you and that could have led to misunderstandings. Put it behind you and be grateful for the care your dad received.

The responder could have had a nicer demeanor. You very well could have added important medical details your father failed to mention. If he did his job, I'd let it go.

All of you have been so helpful. I will let it go. All that matters is that dad is doing well.

God Bless

The EMT is there to tend to the person in trouble not to gab. Let them do their job.

EMT was doing his job. He gets info about the patient's condition by observing how the patient answers questions. If he needed additional info or details from you, he would have asked. IMO, when the EMTarrives, if the patient is conscious and able tp speak, back off, let the EMT do his/her job, be available to observe what's going on and answer questions if necessary, but don't interfere.

I have been on 911 calls where the dispatcher was short and curt with me. They are doing their job and must assess the situation as quickly as possible without me yammering on. In some situations, time is of the essence. I didn't get upset. I agree with the others, let it go, they are doing their job.
