A year ago I endured listening to a couple of socialist bisexual women yammer on about how excited they were to get out of stodgy, racist Denver and move to Portland. It’s a liberal Mecca.
Roaming methed-out feral niggers and a complete collapse of public services are a small price to pay for meat in bread I could easily make at home in 30 minutes if I wasn't too useless to even boil a pot of water!
Beginning in January, after reviewing data that showed the number of late ambulances had skyrocketed, the county began tracking such calls.
Now WW has obtained a list of those calls, which the county refers to as “level 0 incidents.” There have been 5,063 such incidents between Jan. 17, when the county first began collecting the data, and May 9, when WW first asked for it.
There’s been around 10,000 calls for medical assistance per month, according to a county report analyzing data up to March. That means, by rough approximation, that ambulances have been unavailable more than 10% of the time this year.
In one instance documented by the county in February, the system became so backed up that dispatchers had 17 calls requesting medical help and no ambulances available to send out.
The county has declined to penalize AMR, despite the fact its ambulances’ response times were out of compliance with its contract. In a statement to WW last month, county health officer operations manager Aaron Monnig said the delays weren’t AMR’s fault.
“The pandemic wasn’t in their control, nor was the subsequent national workforce shortage,” Monnig said. “We’re working on different projects to help the system provide the right care at the right time with the right providers.”
My God. The total lack of personal accountability in Portland is insane.
Numbers are important. ~10k calls a month= ~120k a year 5k missed is ~5/120=4% unless someone's got better numbers it's 4% not 10%. Damn I hate when people abuse numbers.
I just can't understand why anyone would willingly live there. It's extremely expensive for a horrible quality of life.

Muh ethnic yum-yums.

<National workforce shortage.
I have to ask, can you work healthcare in Portland without being vaccinated?
There's a pool of labor right there. You just have to get over yourself and hire them...
(Who am I kidding? Deep blue areas would rather run their EMS into the ground than admit the mandates were wrong.)
You are correct almost all job openings in Portland regardless of whether they are in health care or not demand proof of vaccination.
“Mistakes were made.”
It's probably that way because of the hippy leftists there, they got what the deserved
You'll need Trauma Team to wander into that lawless shithole.
Meanwhile, people in places like Beaverton demand more.
It makes me wonder how the gun shop in Milwaukee is doing.

5k missed over a five month period
