If it brings in this much money, why aren't they paying for medics like they do

police?

Gene,

 

While I agree that we as EMS Professionals should charge for our off-time,

especially for some big major event like this one.  However, for some small

local event I can see where some local EMT's or medics might volunteer their

time.

 

Those that may like events such as this one will volunteer their time.  I also

agree, that if this is a major event and they are paying for security or APD

personnel, then they should pay for EMS personnel.  I'm sure that Austin/

County EMS would not do this for free.

 

Happy EMS Week!!

Have you EVER heard of off-duty police volunteering for any promoter sponsored

event? And you never will. They get paid their customary off-duty pay. Why

should EMTs, who I THOUGHT were medical professionals, give their services away

to a money making scheme run by promoters?

I made a similar rant about volunteering to be a set medic some years ago and

you would have thought I had insulted Willie and Jerry Jeff .

When are we going to stop playing EMT and act like the professionals we are?

I can see volunteering for a charity cause if everybody else is contributing

their time and talents, but for a biker rally? No way.

BTW, if you do volunteer, who do you think is going to cover you if you are hurt

or you get sued for something you do? The promoters? Surely you jest.

Well, thank you very much, but I think I'm probably more than the media can

handle. LOL.
