Newsmaker: Bob Kennedy - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
In the early 1970s, there was no Pittsburgh paramedic
squad. Back then, police transported injured people
from emergency scenes by loading them into their cars
or wagons and taking them to hospitals in a job 
affectionately called the "swoop and scoop."
The paramedic squad finally hit the streets in 1975,
and a new recruit and Vietnam War veteran named Bob
Kennedy went on the first two calls : 
a drunk guy who fell off his crutches at a Point
Breeze bar and a double shooting in Homewood.

Wheelchair accident kills man being carried by EMTs -
Shamokin, Pennsylvania
 An EMT who was trying to carry a man up some steps in
a wheelchair ended up causing the man's death -- after
slipping and falling on him. The 67-year-old disabled
man died of chest injuries less than an hour after
the accident.
Police in Shamokin (shuh-MOH'-kin), Pennsylvania, say
the steps were steep, and were covered with snow.
An ambulance had brought Melvin Miller from the
hospital to his house. He'd been disabled for years.
Police say two emergency medical technicians were
carrying Miller in his chair up some steps when the
E-M-T holding the back of the chair lost his balance
and fell onto Miller. That man suffered a knee injury.

Ambulance service may go out to bid - California
Recommendation to county likely to be controversial.
In the long run, the recommendation offers a way to
end a festering dispute over what some complain is a
chaotic, competitive free-for-all among
ambulance companies.
But in the short term, the EMS recommendation is sure
to bring to a boil an intense fight over who is
allowed to provide ambulance service, and where.

Chief: Firefighters need to work around the clock -
Masschusetts "I don't think any self-respecting EMT
will say, 'I'm not going out between midnight and 6
a.m.' Why they don't answer the tone is beyond me,"
Hegeman said of the full-timers. Under the present
schedule, the full-timers work staggered shifts from 
6 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday. Weekend
shifts are manned by call or full-timers who sign up
for overtime. No one commits to remaining on call
overnight. Full-time firefighter Christopher Ready
said full-timers do respond to overnight calls if they
are available, but it's unfair to expect them to be on
call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
