OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — When Olathe East Senior Linebacker James McGinnis collapsed on the football field Friday, people in the stands were upset, saying it took the ambulance too long to arrive.
McGinnis’ family says the 18-year-old is making small improvements, although he remains in critical but stable condition, while being treated for a brain injury at Overland Park Regional Hospital.
Monday night the Chief Paramedic at Johnson County Med-Act set the record straight about the care the high school senior received on the field. They say when McGinnis collapsed on the field he received immediate medical care by a Johnson County Med-Act paramedic who was on-site.
