Medic Dispatchers

Let's face it with few exceptions our current crop of dispatchers leave much to be desired. I am sure they are phone answering, emd gods. But holly squirrel shit! they can't move ambulances to save their own life let alone someone who needs it. They can't think 5 minutes into the future, let alone say an hour. They seem to be largely, one dimensional thinkers.

I somewhat understand why the medics were pulled from dispatch, but on the other hand I think it is high time we move them back up there, with a caveat. They do nothing but dispatch. They do not answer phones, unless it is a medic on an ambulance. they don't talk to the public.

They would dispatch. PERIOD. Most of the current folks up there would do the phones, which they excel at. There are no more than a few who should be allowed to use the radio. The Medics would do the board, which they excel at. Perfection. Simple solution.
