Like many first responders, this Grady EMS paramedic, who did not want to reveal his identity fearing he could lose his job, went into the field to help people. That’s why he’s grown frustrated with current working conditions at Grady EMS.
“It’s been a cluster. Conditions getting worse, [wait] times getting longer, people getting sicker or more angry with us or dying more frequently because we’re not able to get there,” the Grady EMS paramedic added.
Earlier this month, CBS Investigates reported on a group of EMS workers who were in the early stages of forming a union for Grady EMS’ roughly 180 employees. Grady provides 911 services to the city of Atlanta and 16 other Georgia counties.
