Thank GOD!!! As an EMT myself, I couldn't be happier for the hard working men and women that work for AMR. The only reason I've never worked on an ambulance is because of AMR's crappy pay. You can make $9.25 starting at In and Out, or you can make $8 something an hour working your booty off, potentially saving lives all day long. Congrats EMT's and Medics, you deserve it!!
