It was only a matter of time before this happened in DC. A motorcycle officer was in a collision with a car and had to wait for a PG ambulance to respond because DC EMS had no more available units.

I hope the Officer makes a full recovery and returns to duty quicky. Bad for the Officer, but hopefully another kick for the service to get there business sorted out. The pressure a Police union can place from the outside, especially at a municipal level may help shake things loose. Then again, if all the garbage that's happened in that system so far hasn't done it...

DC EMS has been a nightmare for years. There are plenty of amazing providers out there who I would trust with my parents lives. It's the management that is really killing EMS.
