NY Jockeys Going on STRIKE

[pmacdaddy]

Sorry to hear about your accident.

I understand that Jockeys may wish to be treated somewhere other than the closest Trauma center.

Problem is that they are relying on EMS to transport them for care. The rules in New York City are you go the nearest Trauma Center, period. Jamaica Hospital is a certified Level 1 Trauma Center and the closest Trauma Center to Aqueduct.

If they want something different, they should negotiate an arrangement and pay for it like everyone else in the world does.

EMS is just following the rules.
