#CodeCritical call in Bear River. 114 km to Yarmouth and 121 km to Kentville plus the 27 minutes for EHS to get on scene. If Digby Emergency were open it would only be 16 km away.
@TimHoustonNS We have a problem!

Once again, this weekend (until Mon), there are no emerg services between Yarmouth & Kentville. This is a distance of 227 km where there is fishing, farming, and washed out roads fr recent floods. No cell service in many places. But what could go wrong, hey @TimHoustonNS?

LAROCHE; It's a threat that's been levied before but, to date, @nshealth has not fined EMC. In fact, the company has never been fined for failing to meet its contractual obligations.

Here's a thought. How about paying our current paramedics a #LivingWage?

I asked an Amazon delivery guy if Amazon paid him well. He said he got paid $25 an hour.
In contrast, a paramedic in Nova Scotia makes $22 an hour. #nshealth #nslab #IUOE #CodeCritical @IUOEnsparamedic saltwire.com/nova-scotia/opi…
