Re: Rest break death ambulance man keeps job
Surely if he was a 'technician' he may not yet have been trained in using the defibrillator. Patients who suffer un-witnessed cardiac arrests and have delayed BLS (Basic Life Support)/defibrillation as a result have a dismal outlook and resuscitation attempts will be unsuccessful in most cases
Not to attend when only 800 yards from the incident does not, in my opinion, show an empathic nature, though all of the surrounding details/circumstances are not known, I can, hand on heart say, his presence in any capacity would have helped, if only to have reassured the patient and hold her hand.
