Paramedic quit Canadian medevac company ‘in disgust’

Says Ornge robbed a teenager of her chance at life by not properly staffing aircraft, or sending in a timely manner

Ottawa Citizen

TORONTO — A former paramedic with Ornge says he quit Ontario’s troubled air ambulance service in disgust in 2009 after the death of a teenager from northwestern Ontario.

Trevor Kidd says had the girl had a hope for survival, Ornge “robbed” her of that chance by not properly staffing their aircraft or sending them in a timely manner.

The whistleblower says he raised red flags about Ornge with journalists and others, but no one believed him because of Ornge’s “Mother Teresa” image.
