@StephattheWhig Calling out said Kingston based “news” organization for this behaviour got me blocked 🤷‍♂️ it’s sad really.

[Jeffrey Bilyk @JeffreyBilyk]

Lazy? Or misunderstood culture shift? At any rate Paramedic organizations won't be able the use the strategies of old when dealing with the younger generation of clinicians. It's time to adapt for the benefit of all.

.@fordnation I think my wife and RN’s across the province are worth a lot more than a 1% raise. Here she is ready to walk to work in this blizzard knowing she may be forced to be there more than the scheduled 12 hours of her shift…

Emerged details re: the pediatric cardiac arrest in OTT. Seems that a transport unit was adhoc thrown together by combo of resources.

These sentinel events will continue to happen & odds of them occurring have never been higher.

End the talking points. Fund/staff healthcare.

Please have patience with @FPSParamedics they are working to service extremely high call volumes due to events in the Queens district. More ambulances and adequate staffing levels are needed to service the needs of the community.#ygk @FrontenacCounty @OPSEUAmbDiv @cityofkingston

@iplantpeople Am I supposed to feel shame?? Moonwalk is always in style

[MarkSchjerning @MSchjerning]

Great news, but it only helps if this is staffed with new paramedics and a new ambulance. Moving an existing shift out to this base from the city core does not help. https://t.co/qnBohgJYki

[OPSEU L462 @opseu462]

Paramedics & supporters are gathered now at Princess & Gardiners to draw attention to inadequate paramedic staffing and the public safety issue that it’s causing in #ygk & #infrontenac. We’ve picked up some @TimHortons Smile cookies to support @UHKF, too, while we’re at it!

[OPSEU L462 @opseu462]

Thanks to everyone who showed up for our rally today and to all the motorists who waved and honked! 😊 We really appreciated the support!

[MarkSchjerning @MSchjerning]

I'll be there to support our paramedics! Frontenac County Council needs to do the right thing and add more paramedic resources now. When you call 911 you expect that the paramedics will show up quickly. We must do better! This is a life safety issue!

[MarkSchjerning @MSchjerning]

@davedoran78 @FrontenacCounty @AndrewGagnon @FPSParamedics @OPSEUAmbDiv @frontenacnews The immediate concern is to ensure that the paramedics have the mental health supports they need available and to add more staff and ambulances. 2 - 24 hours shifts should be added in Kingston ASAP. This helps Kingston and SFT and keeps Sydenham at base more! #Mark4MayorSFT

[Harris Lemon @harrislemon]

We are not ok @FrontenacCounty . Your local paramedics are burnt out and need help. Like our province needs to support @KingstonHSC better, our council needs to support our paramedic service better. Demand more. @cityofkingston @MayorPaterson

[David Messenger @dwmessenger]

Might be a new record? @KingstonHSC @Qemerg

[alan drummond @alandrummond2]

Premier Ford ⁦@fordnation⁩ . For the love of God please acknowledge this crisis in health care delivery and show us you care. Silence, I’m afraid, isn’t golden.

[Jeffrey Bilyk @JeffreyBilyk]

Recreation is important. So are sidewalks.

But we need to stop questioning why Paramedic Services in Ontario are swamped and trying to blame hospitals when the answers have been in front of our face for two decades (Hamilton: Your city may vary but your ratios will be similar)

Frontenac/Council:

“Everything’s fine”
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

#ygk service has absolutely no surge capacity built in. More ambulance crews are needed now.

"It affects the mental well-being of paramedics when we can't respond to calls the way we should. The system needs more resources.”
