Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
I was just watching the playback from the Board of Supervisors mtg. about the firefighter/paramedic issue and noticed a few things.The doctor from the Mercy ER Group Dr. Ron Ostrom used some figures stating that 79% of the intubation by firefighter/paramedics in Los Angeles, Orange, and surrounding counties have a failure rate that ends in the Esophagus. But, he stated that 97% of the attempts by private paramedics in Kern County is successful. If that was the case were are he stats to back that up and won't the citizens of those counties be pretty upset. Finally, if the firefigthers that work for Hall Ambulance part time are a part of the group that can't intubate a person correctly why would Hall Ambulance hire them? I worked for a private ambulance company several years ago and the only training we did was usually new company billing policies or harassement in the workplace seminars not continual training like some of the other people have stated on this post.
