Business Outlook
Pros
I valued my time providing patient care in a progressive ALS system. I was proud to work under my medical program director and for my county. I have marked that I recommend this company for the experience that a medic can gain from the patient care aspect. Great county protocols and crews.
Cons
The "for profit" mentality was often in conflict with providing good patient care, as the company often made decisions to cut equipment, personnel in order to maximize profits. Work environment and hazards are hard enough without the company you work for making it harder for you to advocate for good patient care. Field manager was quoted saying "Its cheaper to pay out on OJI than it is to pay for safer equipment."
