EMT says he was suspended without pay for trying to save choking girl
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/10/28...-choking-girl/


WTF??


A heroic New York EMT who tried in vain last week to save a 7-year-old school girl choking on her lunch said he was suspended because it is against company policy to make a stop without being called.

Qwasi Reid, who works for Assist Ambulance, was transporting a nursing home patient last Wednesday with his partner when he said they were flagged down at a red light by a frantic man who told them that a student was choking. Reid said his partner, who was not reprimanded by the company, told the man they already had a patient and there was nothing they could do.

Reid, who has driven ambulances for four years, said he knew the choking girl took a priority over the transport, and against his partner's urging, jumped out of the ambulance's back door and administered first aid to the girl, who he said had already turned blue. No one at the school was rendering first aid, he said.

"I don't regret it," Reid, who said he is suspended without pay, told FoxNews.com. "I'd do it again. If I know there's a child choking, I'm going to do my best to help her."

The 7-year-old girl, Noelia Echavarria, is on life support at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York. She has been declared brain-dead. The family said through a lawyer that they maintain hope that she’ll recover, The New York Post reported.

Reid said he was suspended because it is against company police to make a stop without being called and he said they are only concerned about insurance money. Assist Ambulance did not immediately return a phone call from FoxNews.com. Readers set up a GoFundMe page for Reid.

Seems really ****ed up especially because the passenger was a being transported to a nursing home and nothing was wrong with them. I could understand if he risked the passengers life if they were having a heart attack or something, but wow....Some complete BS.

What I find interesting is that the article said no one from the school was rendering first aid. I'm absolutely speculating, but I wonder if that has anything to do with the politics of liability and insurance as well.

Crappy story all around.

Lord knows there are people out there that would sue you for cracking a rib while trying to save their life.

I remember a story I read a while back, I can't remember if I read it on CP or not. It was about a student that made his own lunch one morning, and accidentally grabbed a can of beer from the fridge to throw in his lunch, rather than a can of soda. He realized it as soon as he opened his lunch that afternoon. He immediately took it to the first teacher in sight, and explained the situation. Rather than emptying the beer and sending the kid on his way, the teacher said she was obligated to report it, and the principal suspended the kid. IIRC, the principal said the kid absolutely did the right thing, but his hands were tied due to regulations, and he had to suspend him. The school board affirmed that because of policy, the kid had to be suspended.

Shit like that and the story in the OP are a huge problem. Common sense would have told the teacher and principal not to punish the kid. However, you almost understand why they followed policy when you read a dude's job is in jeopardy just because he chose common sense over policy and tried to save a young girl's life.

**** this country sometimes.
