STAFFORDSHIRE, U.K. — A Staffordshire paramedic found on a stretcher high on laughing gas when she was supposed to be looking after a patient has been suspended from her profession for a year.
Janine Owen emptied the canisters in her ambulance and even inhaled when going to calls. Bosses at West Midlands Ambulance Service grew suspicious about the depleted stocks of nitrous oxide, Entonox, in May 2008.
They discovered she was responsible for the missing gas when they decided to mark her cylinders with a black cross.
