GLASGOW, UK — The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) has defended its decision not to allow a paramedic to go to the aid of a dying teenager without police back-up.
Stuart Baillie, 19, bled to death after being stabbed in the neck in the East End of Glasgow in August 2007.
Colleagues of the paramedic sent to the scene told a newspaper that she begged controllers to allow her to assist.
