In my profession we refer to people like that grasshoppers. They come, they eat and they leave. Rural EMS has a very high turnover rate. They get some experience and some knowledge of the industry and they leave for the big city for the same pay but more action and leave us rural guys in a tight spot.
As an EMS guy myself for a HEMS team just want to say thanks! Couldn't do my job without great rural EMS folks! You guys are the true heros doing the same job with less resources in a lot of cases so thank you.
