First Responder Eligibily

I like many of you experienced this issue just today. It is incredibly mind blowing that a paramedic is considered a first responder because they are "first on the scene", as an emergency department nurse, we don't wait and call EMS when a gunshot victim gets dumped at the ER door and we don't tell our walk in trauma patients to please hold until a paramedic arrives. NO WE RESPOND TO EVERY EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA THE MINUTE THEY WALK IN…… FIRST ON THE SCENE AT THIS POINT, that to me sounds like a first responder. Its crazy how we were considered hero's and made the first responder list during the pandemic and now they are trying to take it from us as if we are no longer considered vital. During a mass casualty the emergency nurses are required to go out and assist paramedics so please make it make sense. I shouldn't have to fight for my case before having it "manually overridden". T-mobile needs to re-evaluate their system and include emergency nurses if not ALL NURSES as first responders. I most definitely will be taking my money to a service that acknowledges and appreciates nurses always and not just during a pandemic.
