On the last post, I told you that I had received a response from the Attorney General Richard Blumenthal regarding the incident with our local ambulance company that occured on Dec. 11th, 2007.
I don’t have a scanner. But guess what? I am GETTING ONE this weekend!! Hooray!!
So I am typing in Attorney General Blumenthal’s response:
Dear Ms. Kleist

Here is Richard Blumenthal’s letter to Mr. Gary Wiemokly of the Department of Public Health Office of Emergency Medical Services.
Dear Mr. Wiemokly:
Enclosed please find correspondence my office received from Cynthia Kleist. Ms. Kleist’s correspondence raises concerns regarding the conduct of an employee of Ambulance company. I am requesting that your office investigate this matter and take any appropriate action. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
RICHARD BLUMENTHAL
If the owner of the ambulance company had the decency to talk to me on the phone for a few minutes this issue would have been dropped. I tried many times to contact this person, but he did not have the decency to call me back.
I already told them, do not EVER EVER EVER come to my aid if I need it. I will DIE on the spot before I ever let any body from the C Ambulance Company touch me.
If a teacher told one of their students they could be tasered if they tried to get up and run, they would be FIRED in plain English and brought up on child abuse charges. Like my grandfather used to say, it is MD after their name not GOD!!
