STUART, Va. (AP) — An emergency medical technician who was suspended after The Huffington Post reported he was a frequent co-host of a neo-Nazi podcast has now been fired.
News outlets report JEB Stuart Rescue Squad's board of directors voted Sunday to fire 35-year-old Alex McNabb. The Dec. 8 report said McNabb told stories about being an EMT on the podcast, often referring to patients by racist slurs.
The Virginia Department of Health said last month that it hadn't found evidence that McNabb discriminated in providing care. But board attorney Wren Williams said it was "in the best interest of the squad" to terminate McNabb's part-time employment.
McNabb has previously said his remarks were constitutionally protected satire and asserted he was professional while on duty. Co-workers said they hadn't received discrimination complaints.

Democrats are Trying to Murder Pioneer Community Hospital.

Every once in a while you get one of those jobs that isn’t just a wage-slave grind for peanuts. You know what I mean, the kind of occupation where all your coworkers are cool, the work is rewarding, and clocking in means you get to hang out with your friends all day.
For me, working as an EMT in Pioneer Community Hospital’s Emergency Department was one such job. I originally wanted the position for a single reason; to get clinical experience in a small, understaffed and frequently over-crowded rural ER. I didn’t take the job for the money; my ambulance work paid 40% more. I already knew most of the staff at Pioneer from working for the private EMS service stationed within the hospital, a state of affairs that benefited me immensely in getting hired.

I'm an EMT, although my ambulance days are over, I would never want to serve with this creep. On the patient-care side, you cannot tell me that his extreme bigotry would not impact his patient care--it would and, I'm sure, does. Get him away from patients.
