  • Arnold A. Lampel I work in an ER setting, what do you think, of course it is not that easy to appropriately categorize patients all the time...

I guess buying the company that outbid them is one way to backdoor the 911 contracts. I know many awesome Metro employees and I hope AMR takes good care of them now!
