What's the EMS Counterculture? It's an irreverent look at today's EMS. It's the view your management doesn't want you to have. EMSCounterpoint takes a look at EMS news and throws out opinion and humor. Kinda like The Onion or 23/6 of EMS.

AMR would rather sue their unon than negotiate
Las Vegas,Nevada KTNV.com,Action News .:. AMR Tries To Stop Paramedics & EMT's From Walking Out
This is disappointing. AMR, already under investigation for bugging union negotiations in Mass, is taking it's union to court to avert a strike rather than begin negotiating. Bad move on the unions part though, trying to use an offshoot of the SEIU to do the negotiating.
Great Idea, punch a medic get banned from the bars!
Drunks face ban for abuse of paramedics - Lancashire Evening Post
This is a great idea!

Ambulance Rolls Over in New York Accident — (EMSResponder.com)
This is the third MVC aand I believe the second (maybe third) rollover this particular company has had at this particular intersection. Can you say a little unlucky?

AMR caught bugging employees. Union talks stalled
Listening bug’s discovery stalls AMR-union talks - BostonHerald.com
AMR in the Massachusets area was caught electronically monitoring employees, in a area designated for the union to use. AMR stated 'it was their right to use that equipment on our property"
The question is, how many other AMR operations are bugging their employees or is it just for union negiotiations?

Google Health's Possibilites For EMS
Several months ago, Google launched a new service called Google Health. Google Health is intended to provide patients and healthcare providers with a single common resource and information point. It currently allows patients to set up a profile, and share that data with providers and services they authorize. Several major medical centers and other providers are amongst the test providers. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the Cleveland Clinic are the first two major medical centers to participate, along with Longs Drugs, Walgreens, Medco, Quest Diagnostics and Minute Clinic from CVS/Caremark are also participating. Google health is a potential treasure trove of information for EMS providers.
