Kelly Grayson and Nancy Magee introduce their new podcast, in which they share their unfiltered views on EMS issues of today. They'll be unfiltered, blunt, and occasionally argue like an old married couple - but one thing they won't do is pull their punches.

This week they discuss the sentencing of former EMT Peter Cadigan of Springfield, IL, who plead guilty to manslaughter in the death of Earl Moore, Jr. who Cadigan and his partner, Peggy Finley. transported restrained prone on the stretcher and died en route to the hospital.

Moore's death was ruled homicide due to positional and compression asphyxia. Peggy Finley was charged with first degree murder and her trial is ongoing.

A civil suit was filed recently by Mr. Moore's family for 3.2 million dollars.

Nancy and Kelly also discuss the recent NY BEMS rule requiring new non-transport EMS vehicles (sprint cars and supervisor vehicles) to be fitted with vehicle cameras. Judging by the reaction of the news media and EMS crews they interviewed, they mistook "non-transport EMS vehicles" with "human sacrifice of their first-born children."

If you'd like to see what the proposed rule really sees, here's the NY BEMS Part 800 section dealing with it.

Scroll the Page 19 where it says "Any emergency ambulance service vehicle other than an ambulance."

That's for new vehicles only. You won't have to retrofit anything, much less your ambulances.
