I'm actually surprised that there isn't more of a push to have them wear body cams. On two separate occasions I had the misfortune of calling 911 for people that had emergencies and both times the EMS that showed up were verbally abusive to the people who needed help. One had just had a seizure (his first ever) and another was an elderly man who slipped and fell and was injured quite badly.

When was the last time you saw that an EMT had killed someone in the course of their duties? Think about what you said; you want EMS to wear on-body cameras because of verbal abuse. That sounds much more cost effective than making a complaint with Alberta Health.
