It was just like rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat for 16 hours, come back eight hours later, and do it all again. When asked what the hardest part of that four-week stretch was, the paramedic said,Not being able to save most of these people. This was a very dark period for me because no one was coming back, we werent able to resuscitate anyone. I got close once, but that person died too.It was just something I had never experienced at all during this job. It wasmentally exhausting and it was emotionally fatiguing.

During the pandemic, CSU messaging has been provided to field units on a daily basis, including being sent directly to computers on board ambulances.

Those resources should be reserved for public safety circumstances or medically dangerous circumstances, and that is very rarely the case with mental health crises.

   It’s just tragic that Frontier will put dollar signs before people’s lives and are jeopardizing police, fire and EMS personnel, ambulance personnel, paramedics, we take an oath and we live by that oath to protect our communities, and when our partner has a key component and doesn’t keep up, we lose sleep at night.
