They ended up taking him to the hospital because he was tachy and pale. DUH. Anyways, half the EMT class was there when one of our crews walked in, found out what happened, and almost peed themselves laughing. Yes, we're very nice to the probies. ;)

Jon!

I agree with Jon. Honorable Mention. I thought it was for people who were dead-stupid too.

New EMT convicted in fatal prank

http://www.timesdispatch.com/servle...TD_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1137833607005


January 24, 2006

Joshua Philip Martin was in his fourth day on the job as a rescue-squad worker in Russell County when, in a playful mood, he decided to reach into the front seat of the ambulance and zap one of his co-workers with the defibrillator paddles. The rookie's mistake was fatal.

Careful with those pranks kiddies!!!
