I found this kind of interesting. Apparently this guy has set up his own, one man EMS service. He monitors EMS dispatch calls and shows up on scene to provide assistance to non serious, non life threatening calls until EMS arrive on scene. Its unclear if he has any formal training in this area. It also is unclear if he has any affiliation or support from the City or EMS. It seems like his intentions are good. However I am curious about the legalities and way he is going about this. I am not sure I would want this guy showing up if I had called an ambulance for help.

My name is Taylor Richard Houben. For the past several years of my life I have dedicated my life towards Emergency Medical Services (EMS) & the skilled indepth passion & knowledge of Ambulances. My passion began when I was 13 years old when my biological mother & biological brother suddenly passed away to Alcoholic additions and Alcohol overdose. Before I lost two very important family to me I was like your everyday normal young kid loving your normal sports and everyday normal young kid things, That changed forever in me from that day forward. I am your regular everyday normal person, I eat I sleep I breath just like you do. I talk, I walk I think just like you do. The only difference is I am a 20 year old gay (LGBT) male that has the heart and strong passion for Emergency Medial Services & Ambulances but most of all whanting to help others. More so than not sometimes it can be hard to come to terms or fully understand the dynamics & reasoning surrounding my passion and interest that has been my life for now several years. The past 6 months I have had the determination & dedication to start my own Medical First Response organization in the City of Calgary. In saying so starting this May 2015 I will officially be starting to provide medical assistance to Emergency Services to non life threatening patients in more specific detail, this is when a ambulance is dispatched but is not instructed to respond urgently with lights and sirens. Serious or life threatening calls I allow EMS & Fire to respond to urgently and DO NOT attend these calls if not in the immediate area to be able to lend medical assistance before Emergency Services arrive. I am not set to any specific area or community I do what is commonly known as Roaming or being a "Rover" this means I can be in any part of the city at any given time and monitor EMS Dispatch radio channels and if a call comes in that is close by or near my present location I will proceed to respond to that cold call location to lend assistance to the patient until EMS arrives. My goal in all of this is to be able to help wherever possible even if its in a small amount or way. Its the passion in my heart and determination to want to be able to help others is the ultimate reason for starting this project. I have purchased my own vehicle that will be marked to be able to accurately identify myself as a medical assistance resource. In addition I have purchased all new equipment needed to do operate this independent organization correctly.
I operate this organization independently and privately meaning its only myself out doing this for the current time being. Further and possible expansion will be explored at a later date. There is much more than explained above that it takes to do this type of project. so please do not assume all is explained in the above paragraphs as this is just the short summery of what the independent organization is about and its operations. If you have any concerns or questions please do not hesitate to contact myself to clarify or be provided more information about Manywounds Tribal Medical First Response (MTMFR).
