Residents

of Fayette County seem to be thrilled with the

service they're receiving from emergency medical

crews.

The

county's Emergency Medical Service conducts

monthly surveys of those who are transported by

ambulance, and in the most recent survey,

respondents rated the service an average of 9.84

out of ten.

And

54 of the 68 surveyed gave the ambulance crews a

perfect ten on all seven of the categories they

were asked to rate.

Every

person transported by the county EMS is asked to

rate the treatment received on professionalism,

friendliness, neatness, attitude of crew, patient

handling and transportation, and give an overall

ranking.

Noticing

the survey report in his in box recently,

Commission Chairman Harold Bost was impressed.

"That's an absolutely outstanding job,"

he said during last week's County Commission

meeting.

Commissioner

Linda Wells added that she has noted the

service's high marks over previous years as a

commissioner, and also has been impressed.

"The

overwhelming complaint," she said, "has

been that there was a rough ride in the back of

the ambulance. But month after month the

responses are overwhelmingly positive," she

said. "We have an excellent group of

people."
