Here our ambulance crew is volunteer, most of the time the driver is on the phone, it's due to their farm business or family calls them while they're driving the ambulance.
And how the EFF do you know this? Do you ride around w/ them on every call? Do you stop at car wrecks and point out their mistakes like you do to referees, I mean you are an expert at everything. It's not true what they say about ***-U-MING. The only person you are making an *** out of is yourself, and you do it quite well. I swear you know everything about everything and everybody and nobody does anything right enough for you.

I have tried to tolerate you and your stupid *** posts full of assumptions and general know-it-all-ness but I can't anymore. You are an annoying pain in the *** and I will now be trying to locate some kind of an ignore button on here.

The "edit ignore list" feature is located under "User CP" feature in the upper left of the forum.

Sounds like grunewar has some experience with this feature. He probably won't be reading this because I'm sure that I'm on his ignore list.

Actually, I've never used it. But have had a recent PM discussion with an esteemed colleague about it and have looked into it.....

Before the insurance changed to where only the ambulance crew is with the patient, I rode shotgun when my wife was being transported the 65 miles to the hospital. Like I have stated in a previous post, the ambulance crews here are volunteer, since this area is high in agriculture it's common place for the driver or other ambulance crew members to be involed with farming.

Exclamation

Unfortunately, my hospital insurance coverage is about as good as my hospital gown coverage.

Sorry, Grunewar.

I was explaining how I knew about the ambulance crew being on their cell phones talking about farm business when driving the ambulance, to Biggravy.

In this case, I would say the Twilight Zone, Bermuda Triangle, & The Outer Limits LMAO

You might as well have said you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Personally, I think they should remove all similar laws and just pass one that replaces the airbags in the sterring column with barbed spikes.
I quit reading this thread after my last post, but I agree with this.

Are there really more accidents caused by this than by, say, dicking around with the radio, eating a Whopper (tm), or talking to other passengers?

Seriously, you make a comment like that based on one trip?

I'm just curious, but what does an official call look like? I work with a lot of troopers, and they make a lot of calls on their cell phones; to each other.

I'll state here that my experiece is limited and thus not conclusive. But in three shifts riding along with them, their combined personal phone calls amounted to....wait for it.....

I think official calls look like that pic of Ed Hightower in the other thread.
