That is disgusting. In NEW YORK of all places???? If you go into the field of emergency aid, you enter into it wanting to save lives. That should be your number one objective. I understand her boyfriend, the other EMT died in a shooting. BAD KARMA. She does not deserve to be an EMT and I would not want her anywhere near me if my life was ever in danger. LOSER

If you wear a uniform you represent the service. If you don’t want to represent the service then don’t wear the uniform. Telling someone to ring 911 because you are on a break is not “doing the best you could” and only a moron would defend the indefensible here. The people who look up to me, wave at me and my crew in our truck and thank us with sincerity for the great job we do did not come to think that way by hearing about brothers just telling someone to ring 911 rather than walk a few steps to look at someone in danger. Shame on them and anyone who would make excuses for them.

I hope I never get ill around those EMT workers, It does not matter the length of time in the field, it is the fact of lack of compassion for someone in need, the EMT workers could have at least attempted to help. I hope they can live with the fact they could have done something and chose not to. And now a women and an unborn child are dead. What a shame. They should have their certification stripped and never aloud to work as EMT emploees again. This would have never been tolerated from a nurse or a doctor it should not be tolerated with EMT workers as well.

How about the mayor shuts his mouth until a proper and full investigation is completed? He has no idea what he is talking about besides heresay.

Pretty sad, don’t care how long they hadn’t been in the field.
