    Bariatric emergencies

    That's brilliant. Haven't done a lift myself in a long time. But, back in 2016, the correct answer was, https://toronto.citynews.ca/2016/09/26/exclusive-ambulance-shortage-leaves-man-in-street-for-over-an-hour-with-broken-leg/ Perhaps with these two new units they can do better than that.

    Bariatric emergencies

    Maybe helping others is important to readers. Maybe it's not. That's for them to decide. Is obesity considered a Disability? If so, it may be a Human Rights issue for the City. Not a lawyer . Just an uneducated guess. Whatever anyone's personal opinion , then or now, the calls got done...

    Bariatric emergencies

    That's great advice . Until then , targeted ambulance Response Time in our town for CTAS 1 (Resuscitation / Life-Threatening) 9-1-1 calls is within 8 minutes . How long should a CTAS 1 patient wait for a bariatric ambulance?

    The Toronto Paramedic Bariatric ambulance looks sort of familiar.

    Bariatric emergencies

    Does the City of Winnipeg Paramedic Service operate bariatric ambulances? Without lights and sirens, and not being part of the 9-1-1 system, the private pink "Technical Transport" vehicle would be OK for non-emergency transfers. Flashback of memories of bariatrics collapsed in the basement...

    Bariatric emergencies

    The Orion II was good for bariatric emergencies because the back door could be kneeled to street level. All we had were Ferno-Washington Model 30 cots. And tarps.

    Bariatric emergencies

    Don't see any lights and sirens on it, or any or any of their "Technical Transport " vehicles. They don't appear to be part of The City of Winnipeg 9-1-1 system. Looks like a private non-emergency transfer service, staffed by "Patient Transport Specialists". https://patienttransport.ca/about/

    Bariatric emergencies

    Toronto uses ambulance buses to transport bariatric emergencies. The high floor is a steep lift from the curb. The City just added a custom built Bariatric ambulance to the fleet. Complete with a bariatric cot and a power lift tailgate. This should help reduce WSIB claims...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Rode a BYD out of Comstock Division. Soothingly quiet. Low floor. Smooth acceleration. No vibration. Nothing like the back breaking lift and soundtrack of the New Look "screamers". I spoke to the Operator. Said he liked it.
