Clinical Specialist J. Saunders Medic C. Hunter

We received a note from a very appreciative spouse of a patient today that wanted to convey their thanks to the Crew from Medic-1 J. Saunders & C. Hunter as well as the Austin Fire Department crews that arrived to assist with the call: “Can you please convey my sincere thanks to the EMS and Fire Crews who responded to a call at [our residence in early September]. My [spouse] needed to be transported to the hospital, but getting [them] down from the upstairs bedroom was a challenge. EMS decided that our narrow spiral staircase was not suitable and alerted the Fire department who came with two trucks and five ladders. I so appreciate everyone’s courtesy and professionalism. A special Thank You to the EMS crew member who came twice to the ICU that morning to check on my [spouse’s] status.”
