WORKINGTON, U.K. — A Workington paramedic could lose her job after failing to give patients proper care.

A hearing before the Health Profession Council in London heard yesterday that Audrey Hodgson did not give basic care to a critically ill woman complaining of chest pains.

It is alleged that she forgot to give the woman oxygen or attach her to a heart monitor when called to her home in Whitehaven in September, 2006.
