Letter to the Editor: Supports EMSA

BY LeAnn Smith, Tulsa

I am writing this letter to complain about all the negative publicity your paper has been giving EMSA.

EMSA medics are caring and professional. They put their lives on the line every day to save our lives. They leave their families at home on a daily basis and during all kinds of natural and weather-related disasters and put the citizens of Tulsa first.

Why don’t you try focusing your energy on all the lives that are saved and all the good done in this community by EMSA instead of nit-picking them “because they bought a $1,500 grill,” which they use regularly to cook meals for the medics who are on shift, and don’t have time to stop in the middle of their shift to eat a proper meal. Or, because of a few bills sent out in error.

The bottom line is that EMSA does an outstanding job of serving this community and it needs to be recognized for all their hard work.
