Ronald McKnight has been a paramedic with AMR since December 2014. On December 2, 2019 his unit, AMR 167, was among the many dispatched to a mass casualty incident (MCI) traffic collision. On the scene, his unit found 8 BLS patients who wanted to stay together and be transported to Dr. Phillips. McKnight and his crew kept the patients together, ensured appropriate patient care, and despite a language barrier, managed to gather all the necessary information for a seamless transfer to the emergency department staff.
