Persistent Critic And Union Leader Is Latest To Leave Detroit EMS

No one did more to explain the troubles of Detroit's EMS system than Wissam Zeineh.

As the leader of the EMS union and a regular paramedic, Zeineh spoke out about the system's grave ills for years.

Now, Charlie LeDuff of Fox 2 Detroit reports, Zeineh is quitting. 

He joins at least two dozen other medics who have quit in recent weeks on a city government that seems to have quit on you, Detroit, LeDuff said.

 "Savage cuts to public safety now mean a bee sting can lead to death. A city where the wheels literally fell off the ambulance not two days ago that was traveling at a high speed down the highway."

Zeineh plans to stay in Detroit working to improve your health care, but after ten years on the job, he tendered his resignation.
