Thanks to all our EMS workers who are ALWAYS way underpaid
and overworked!
Did you notice they pulled up behind another Excursion!?
once they got to the scene.
A NYC cab ride is pretty similar (bouncy/swervy) just no siren!
and no running red lights (as often)!
I rode vol. ambulance in my rural hometown in NJ.
I also rode a paid emergency service metro NJ.
We did a few organ donor transports to NYC when the helicopter
wasn't available/couldn't be used. We had NJ/Port Authority/NYC
police escorts and had a lane cleared in advance in the tunnel
and it was still a nightmare to get anywhere once we got to Manhattan.
It's also not always easy for the other vehicles to yield right,
when you need to be in the "left lane" for the next exit.
On the Tri-Boro bridge scene (just after the left lane construction/tollbooth)
The minivan (went left) and black avalanche (went right)
doing what I observed as a common thing, leave the middle lane
open since it splits both ways for the EMS vehicle.
