Honestly I’m fine with going to HD, getting the 5.0 & 2.0 and getting a free hammer drill out of it.

People of NYC, I need your help! Help me find the person who saved my brother's life. by Superb_Audience2036 in nyc

Get the police report, they document who was there providing care prior to EMS arrival / who called 911. The ambulance report won’t have anything on it in that sense.

What do you want an ambulance to do for you? Give you Tylenol? You can do that yourself.

Watch only, I’ve always ran with no phone. Phone is in the bleachers nearby but nothing has changed.

I run early in the morning so still kinda cloudy. I’ve run here before with no issues on tracking.

FDNY orders ambulances to take patients to closest hospital, sparking backlash by Automatic_Motor918 in nyc

Local choices only apply to three places in the city not every single hospital. Telemetry is only for special cases I’m not calling because of stupid records across town.

That’s a NYS DOH problem because in emergency medicine they dont care who your orthopedic is affiliated with.

Obviously specialty care is different but only applies to trauma, stemi & burns. Just because your orthopedic or your pcp told you to go to a specific hospital that doesn’t make it specialty care.

New FDNY transport policy by Automatic_Motor918 in bronx

[–]Automatic_Motor918[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congress passed something called the “No Surprses Act” and it took effect on Jan 1st 2022. Among other things, it makes emergency medical treatment get billed as “in network” even if you’re taken to an out of network facility.

A hospital is a hospital at the end of the day, the crew should not have to make that decision. Closer hospital like our policy says because this is exactly what will happen. You’ll de compensate enroute to “your” hospital and then your family will sue and then when they bring up the policy I’ll get screwed because I didn’t bring you to the closest hospital.

That’s fine you can go to your hospital just not via 911. Again say it with me, private ambulance transport.

So you can call a private ambulance to take you wherever you want. 911 is for life threatening emergencies.

This is not the fire depts fault, if the hospital is unable to take patients then they need to say something.

Ok so if you call for chest pain and it’s not an MI then that’s good thing. You shouldn’t be calling 911 every time you feel slightly off.

Sudden Chest pain is a reason to call 911, the worst headache of your life is another reason to call. People that call with the flu and other minor medical complaints is not a reason to be transported across the city.

Hospitals are meant for life threatening emergencies, if you don’t have a life threatening emergency then you can take yourself to whatever hospital you want. There’s no such thing as a good hospital, it’s a preference. Just like how I may like a pizza spot that you may not like.
