25 minutes for Medix paramedics to arrive????????? The reason Salem Paramedic were not called is?????? P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S!!! I thought “we dont’ need paramedics”……….oh my, I forgot, that’s only in Silver Lake. Pathetic.
Folks..don’t get too concerned about having to wait 25 minutes for a Medix paramedic “intercept”…you have to remember, there are no Walgreen’s stores in Wheatland!!!!
