LANCASHIRE, U.K. — A paramedic repeatedly told a critically ill patient to ‘stop being stupid’ when she said she could not breathe, a hearing was told.
Paul Jackson initially refused to give the woman air and as her oxygen saturation levels dipped, she suffered numbness in her legs, the Health Professions Council heard.
The patient, believed to be in her 40s and referred to as MT, had fallen over and needed a stretcher but Jackson ‘frog-marched’ her to the ambulance, it was said. She lost consciousness in the back of the vehicle but the flashing lights and siren were never used, the hearing was told.
