How About "No-Go" Zones

  • Two people were arrested this afternoon for fighting with paramedics trying to treat their relative in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side, according to the Chicago Fire Department.

    An ambulance and a fire truck responded to a call of a medical emergency in the 7900 block of South Loomis Boulevard at 3:15 p.m., according to department spokesman Joe Roccasalva.

    While paramedics were treating the sick person, a quarrel erupted among the patient’s family members, who then began fighting with the paramedics.

    “The firemen held them off until police got there and took them into custody,’’ Roccasalva said.

    The patient was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition, and no other injuries were reported, according to Roccasalva.
Why bother attempting to help people like this? They obviously don't want you there. We should make every effort to accommodate people like these.

They gotta be mentally ill. How else would you explain it? Thanks Rahm for shutting down the mental health clinics. Much more to come I'm sure.

Good thing no-one got hurt.

I worked in 006 over twenty years ago. Morons were fighting with fireman back then. They only did it once. But this was back in the day, long before the hand-holding of felons was encouraged and rewarded by city officials.

I've long maintained that every municipality should create a "Do Not Service" list for abusers of any municipal function.

Ghetto shithead putting tied-up bags of used motor oil their your garbage?

Do Not Service: Trash

Called 911 four times this week to have police come and get your lazy high school aged kid out of bed?

Do Not Service: Police

Convicted insurance arsonist?

Do Not Service: Fire, Lifetime

Whenever anyone calls 911 or 311, that address requesting service is checked against the list...

"We're sorry ma'am, but we cannot dispatch an ambulance to that address. The last time we did, the EMS workers were attacked and because of that, you were entered on the 'Do Not Service: EMS' list for a period of one year... I can provide you a number for a private service..."

"We wouldn't blame CFD if they created a bunch of "no-go" zones for assholes like these"

Don't we already respond to enough "fire's not going" calls now?

But if it were a "Nobody's Going" Zone, I could live with that!

Maybe we should give each address in the city two calls per year...I'd bet a lot of this nonsense would stop.

You know we can post circumstances like this all day long but it has not made a diference. We all know how the entitled act. It's gonna come to a head, hopefully we have the strength to get the word out. There are a lot of NO GO ZONES! But we go, pensions, medical or not. More has to be done!

I donno, sometimes they just want the police to take their family member to the hospital.. Because the police ride is free, unlike the ambulance ride.

SCC this is not news -- this happens all the time. But thanks for posting it nonetheless. Just another day in the ghetto.
And aint it a bitch that all the ghetto firehouses are staffed with advanced life support paramedic rigs -- ambulances and fire companies -- yet in some white taxpaying neighborhoods on the north and northwest side there are still firehouses staffed with just non-paramedic Basic Life Support rigs as first responders. Why Dat Be? Talk about disparity.

Yes there are a bunch of assholes and there definitely should be "NO-GO ZOENS". BUT.... the CFD needs to stop forcing treatment on these people. I got a job of a person down last week. 2 minutes later they updated it to assist fire because the person that was down is now UP and tussling with them. Why? Because they were trying to force him to get in the ambulance and go to the hospital. WHY?!?!? The job is a "person down". Once that person is up, your job is finished. If that person says "I'm fine get the hell away from me" then THATS WHAT YOU DO! And then fire expects you to swoop in there and start fighting with this guy. I'm not "uh uh not happenin". Hey CFD! Stop trying to kidnap these assholes and take them to the hospital! Walk away!

Same thing happens in the suburbs, even the most expensive ones. Family dynamics are a big part of paramedic calls, especially the ones that occur at weddings or when Grandma falls ill at the family reunion. Liquor, guilt, family rivalries - all part of the recipe for a bad situation. Any paramedic who has not been in the middle of one of these fights doesn't have much time on.

If the CFD paramedics can't handle silly shit like this they should move on. Plenty of other medics waiting to take their jobs.

You should tell your readers to bring a crying towel when they read this blog. It used to be good, now it's deteriorated into a sad forum for a bunch of undereducated, overpaid, self-pitying whiners.

I'm sure you won't print this but I'm writing it because others who read this blog, and others who used to read it but don't any more, feel the same way. Go away and be retired, you are not doing anyone any good.

Reminds of the time a couple of years back in 016 when the drunken alderman fell down the stairs in his home and decided to fight with the CFD personnel who arrived to help him.
Oh, I forgot, that was kept under the rug. Disregard.

Hey Rahm! An ambulance run costs us taxpayers about $800.00 a pop. Why don't politicians end this wasteful spending instead of constantly targeting hard working taxpayers for more money. oh..never mind...you guys will do anything for a vote.

that's what these animals do everyday. they test us to the max so we can lose our cool and composure. they want us to so they can get paid. simple solution would be to give them the minimal medical attention and then leave them be. don't be that guy to drive by the idiots and then get caught not doing your job. as soon as they refuse then we're out of there. be safe police and fire because we all know how crazy it is out there. it is definitely its own world that no one understands unless you're unfortunate enough to experience it first hand.

Why bother? Walgreens is slowly taking over routine medical care anyway. Check blood pressure, give flu vaccinations, etc.

Throw an operating table in there, "GUNSHOT CARE 24 HOURS."

Oh -- "7900 block of South Loomis."

Don't give them any ideas. You know how this city works. They will cut service in 016 for unpaid library fines and move the equipment and manpower south and west into the senseless bloodbath.

Speaking of which -- thank God that Balfour case is closed. Now maybe that whole bunch will STFU. "Product of their environment," etc. You could put this stuff on a 24/7/365 satellite feed and it'd just roll and roll.

Two people shot in Berwyn

11:13 a.m. CDT, May 12, 2012

"Police in west suburban Berwyn are investigating the shooting of two people Friday night.

"...multiple 911 calls about a shooting at the corner of 13th Street and East Avenue. When police arrived at the scene, they found two gunshot victims, one with a single wound and the other with multiple wounds...gang affiliations..."

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-two-people-shot-in-berwyn-20120512,0,3350390.story

Busy. Was over there yesterday afternoon and passed two scenes -- one with officers in alley, ETs around. Another one, street arrest Cermak and East, plainclothes, K9s, wagon.

Berwyn PD has "Video Surveillance Unit." I think someone donated a Brinks truck -- it's unreal. Put this thing on the block, it'll move the bidness around the corner, I ga-ron-tee. I mean, they would move out of the house with this out front all the time.

Stay safe over by dere, guys.

The "person down" if they have been drinking have to go!!!!! Per system smo's! !!! Hey I don't want to take them however I don't want to lose my job either. There is more to it than just getting them up and letting them go. I don't pretend to know your job so please don't pretend to know mine. I have had many PO request an ambulance for the person down who have been drinking that are able to get up on their own. Why? All this does is tie up a ambulance for BS, God help your family and mine if there is no ambulance available. "Any ambulance available any one" happens every day!!!!! We are just as overwhelmed and understaffed as you.
