Talk:American Medical Response

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see no reason for the crimes of one employee to be kept on this page that is an article on AMR as a company.

In September 2006 a Vancouver Washington AMR Paramedic's license was revoked after a child sex crime surfaced. http://www.kgw.com/neighborhood/vancouver/stories/kgw_092806_news_paramedic_revoked.25596379.html

the other comments on AMR as a business are a matter of record.

[edit] Turnover Rate

Removed the sentence "American Medical Response also has to date a 97% employee turnover rate." The claim was unsubstantiated, and appears to be wholly untrue as well. [1]I also removed the line, "American Medical Response is also known for long response times, such as in Riverside County, California." It is un-sourced. And even if it were true, I am not sure I understand why a problem such as this in one small county should be included in an article about national company. Is a disgruntled former employee contributing this stuff to the article? - Big Brother 1984 18:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Healthtek, Laidlaw etc.

What year did they aquire HealthTek? What year was AMR aquired by Laidlaw? When did Laidlaw sell them?

[edit] AIDS and Cancer patients

It is a well known fact in the EMS industry that American Medical Response does not care for patients with HIV/AIDS or Cancer. Their managemental staff have been recorded as to saying that it's cheaper to risk not reporting the physical, accidental droppings of Cancer patient, as long as they are doped up on heavy pain medication then to have to payout a malpractice lawsuit to the family when the patient dies.

I don't think this comment should be on the page. This seems very biased and definitely not NPOV. There are also no facts to substantiate this claim.Kbnha goddess 04:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
