   Ha Watcher, you my friend are an idiot. The ambulance on the grass was the one that initially responded to the wreck. Now just in case you didn`t know, ambulances aren`t like minivans. You can only fit 2 patients in one truck. Therefore when you have 3 patients you must call for another ambulance to come. You can`t just tell the 3rd patient, “Hey we have another ambulance on the way, just sit over here in the ditch and they will be here shortly” You must stay with that patient until the other ambulance arrives. So before you go criticizing the very people who may be there when you are the one in need, you might want to take a step back and think that maybe these people went to school and maybe they know just a tad bit more than me. Good day.

   I and my husband were in the car and we just want all to know that we are very thankful to God that we were not seriously hurt and we have nothing but praise for those who cared for us. The First responders have saved my husbands life twice in the last 4 years. Thanks be to God they were there for us.

   another response for “watcher”:

   sometimes there are multiple emergency vehicles that respond to an accident. How are you so sure that the ambulance with an accident victim may have not already left the scene? Just because you see an ambulance still at the site, doesn’t mean one hasn’t already left.

   a little thought before speaking is sometimes very wise.

   Prayers that everyone involved is okay!

   Hey Watcher…are you one of the “rubber necker’s” that likes to rush to an accident scene to gawk and criticize? Why don’t you go to school and learn to be a Medic or a Police Officer and help somebody rather than criticize those that do?

   Watcher, remember this is a news website…and a very good one at that. It’s not a gossip site…

   Let’s be nice. The First responders are the ones saving lives…and it could be yours or your familiy’s next time. They do a great job and my thanks to all of them!The photographer is doing his job reporting for the north end of the county and if he didn’t we would have no idea what is happening out here! So I thank both of them for the service they give us!

   Hope all involved have a speedy recovery. Wow, can’t believe all of you that made comments before show no concern for the injured or involved, but, rather you would like to talk about (bash) the personnel on scene. They do a great job, but, show some concern. I pray they all are ok.

    To all of you misconcerned people, I am one of the parties involved in this accident and would like to thank the emergency personnel for their response to this accident. Even though I initially refused treatment, they insisted it was in my best interest to have follow up care. They were thorough and professional during a very chaotic moment. Next time it could be you or your loved ones in need if their care at any unexpected moment. To the citizens that offered help before they arrived, thank you for your concern.

    watcher, you need to get a clue. they BOTH are doing GREAT jobs! I know because #1. those are my coworkers and friends on the ambulance. I would trust my life and the lives of all my children with them any day! #2. northescambia is local and VERY fast to respond to calls he hears about usually as we are getting dispatched to them. many times ive been working calls and have looked over to see that familier and welcome face nearby. Until you work in our field or his, you have NO clue what you are yandering about. Thanks to atmore ambulance AND northescambia for ALWAYS doing an AWESOME job, no matter how difficult the scene or what the day or hour!!!!

    Northescambia.com does a great job of keeping us informed up here on the north end! We know where to look when we want some breaking local news.

    as a former emt i know it is patient first if it takes 3 min or 1 hr it isnt like the old days when you grabed them and threw them in the meat wagon and left

    >>The photographer is on the scene taking pictures and the ambulance hasn’t left yet to bring the injured to the hospital. One of you is doing a great job and one of you is not.

    Regarless of which on you mean, you are incorrect. If you mean the photographer shouldn’t be there — you are wrong. He’s just doing his job. And you’ll notice that NE never shows victims, so it really does not matter if the ambulance is there or not.

    If you mean the ambulance workers are not doing their job because they were there for a long time, you are also wrong. It’s protocol to stablize patients before transport. That could be 5 minutes, that could be 20 minutes.

    Both photographer and the ambulance personnel are experts in what they do — not armchair quarterbacks making anonymous comments.
