Paramedic

A jury in the western U.S. state of Colorado on Friday found two paramedics guilty of negligent homicide in the death of a Black man who was put in a chokehold and injected with ketamine during his arrest, U.S. media said.

As reported by Bild, the accident happened around 9:10 a.m. when the scaffolding collapsed on several floors, burying at least eight workers.
About 700 construction workers are currently being evacuated from the large construction site.
Several ambulances and paramedics are on the scene.

A severe road accident between a car and an ambulance occured today at noon in the village of Zlati voivoda at the junction for the village of Gavrailovo.

The patient that was in the ambulance and the driver of the passenger car died.

Within the scope of the works of the Health Ministry, motorcycle ambulances have been introduced to provide emergency healthcare services to patients within minutes, especially in zones where traffic jams are frequent.

The Health Ministry is awaiting the findings of an investigation conducted by the National First Aid Center (EKAV) and the 1st Health Region of Attica regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of a 19-year-old pregnant woman in Nea Makri on Tuesday and the complaints of the ambulance service's delayed response.

An electronic platform at the operations headquarters of the National Center for Emergency Assistance that had fallen into disuse has been reactivated on the orders of the Health Ministry in a bid to tackle overcrowding at public hospitals.

The ambulance workers have, in theory, chosen to be freelancers, as they also have the option of taking up permanent employment with the service. In practice though, self-employment tends to be the only offer on the table. For the managers, treating the paramedics like Uber drivers makes sense - it delivers savings and greater flexibility.
