In this week’s Inside EMS Quick Clip, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson discuss an investigation into an EMT accused of storming out of the house while treating a man who was having a stroke. The man’s family said he got angry and sat in the ambulance until his partner went out and brought him back into the home.
“There are three sides to every story,” Cebollero said. “There’s my side, there’s your side and somewhere in the middle is the truth.”
Whatever actually happened, the incident is a black eye to the EMS career field, he added.
Grayson said we’ve all worked on a scene where a family gets upset and tensions are high.
“The way to handle such situations,” he said, “is not to stomp your foot and leave.”
