Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 I started out working part-time for Brazosport Ambulance Service in the mid 70's. We did everything from transport DOA's to the funeral home and Ben Taub for autopsies, to transfer to the larger hospitals from Community Hospital. Most of the time this was done with one " Attendant " and maybe a nurse on the transfers. This was even before the advent of Hermann Life Flight. To have been there under those conditions, makes one feel good about the advancements that EMS has made in the last 20 years.
