Report Points Out Problems With Coffee County Emergency Medical Service
The County Technical Assistance Service recently completed an in-depth analysis of Coffee County’s Emergency Medical Service. The results included several weaknesses and a few scathing deficiencies on the part of upper and middle management. Gary Hayes, lead consultant for CTAS, presented the report Thursday to a joint meeting of the Budget and Finance Committee, Ambulance Authority, and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) directors. In addition to management deficiencies, the report also found low morale among employees, partly stemming from their notoriously low pay that we reported in February on WMSR. That report showed starting EMT’s at only $7.85 an hour lower than Bedford, Giles, Lawrence, Cannon, Dickson, Lincoln, Warren, Roane, and Grundy Counties.

Around 8:30pm Friday evening a man and a woman were traveling west on Wayside Road. The male driver claims to have reached down to change a CD, then went off the road and struck a power pole. The driver of the truck was wearing a seatbelt and was uninjured. The passenger was not wearing a seatbelt, and she struck the windshield with her head. She was taken to a local hospital complaining of head and neck pain. The power pole was broken completely off and will have to be replaced. The Tennessee Highway Patrol was in charge of the scene.
