And to think.... people in our profession should know better

Long story short: EMT's wife "showed signs of stroke". EMT loaded her up in personal car and raced to hospital, blew red lights and nearly hit a police cruiser (watch video). EMT used his personal employee access card to get in to the ER.

Officer doesn't arrest the EMT on the spot, but instead has a warrant and does it a couple of days later (no delay of care for the wife.... bstone...)


Paramedic sues for "wrongful" arrest and because he is no longer able to work due to the arrest.





So now the city will settle and this guy will get OUR (generic our) tax money for him breaking the law and no harm coming from the cop doing his job! Fantastic. (sarcasm)



Hey buddy, as long as there wasn't a moment of interfering with the speedy access to health care, I'm cool with it. He waited, got a warrant, kept a cool and level head. Bravo.
 
I would think a trained, experienced EMT would realize the best care for his wife would be in an ambulance, with equipment, supplies and other hands.

I can not see doing that if an ambulance was less than 15 minutes away.

Oh no. Not even close.
