In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The GOODNITE Show, host Jordan Geske sits down with Don Sharpe, a former EMS paramedic and ambulance driver, to expose the growing crisis within Alberta’s emergency medical system.

Since 2009, when Alberta Health Services (AHS) took control of Calgary’s once world-class ambulance service, things have changed dramatically — and not for the better. Don breaks down how chronic understaffing, relentless overtime, and burnout are pushing EMS responders to their limits.

He reveals shocking truths about life on the front lines:

• 🚑 Why most paramedics now work too much overtime
• 😔 How the average EMS career lifespan has dropped to just 8 years
• 💬 And what’s really happening inside AHS operations that the public doesn’t see

This episode also includes commentary from an anonymous insider, adding deeper insight into what’s happening behind the scenes of Alberta’s health system. A must-watch for anyone concerned about the state of emergency care in Alberta.
