Too Big An Ask?

Season 2017 Episode 17 | 56m 44sVideo has Closed Captions

EMS has only 20 ambulance units available at any given time. Is that enough?

For the past several years, the problems of O‘ahu’s Emergency Medical Services have been widely reported: EMT sick-outs due to 14 and 16 hour days with no relief in sight; and an aging fleet of ambulances needing constant repair. Each day, there are more than a million residents, visitors and military personnel on O‘ahu.
