CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — Two paramedics with the Clearwater Fire & Rescue Department were suspended after a man they pronounced dead last week was found to be breathing.
The agency said two medics from Station 47 responded to a home in an unincorporated area of Pinellas County Wednesday morning after Thomas Maxwell reportedly suffered cardiac arrest.
“His lips were blue and he was cold but I was doing CPR, and my friend was there and she was doing chest compressions,” said his daughter, Phebe Maxwell told WFLA. “His chest was going up and down and he was making noises, so his lungs were working.”
When the medics arrived, Phebe said they quickly checked her dad’s wrist for a pulse and told them he was gone.
“I’m like ‘He’s still breathing!'” Phebe recalled. “He’s like ‘No ma’am, he’s gone, those are just his body releasing gases.'”
After the medics left, a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputy went to the home to investigate Maxwell’s “death” and noticed he was still breathing.
Largo Fire Rescue crews were then called to the home and Maxwell was rushed to the hospital.
“Upon notification of this incident, we immediately removed both fire medics from their normal duties and discontinued their abilities to provide patient care, in conjunction with the county’s medical director,” Clearwater Fire Chief Scott Ehlers said in a statement to News Channel 8.
The two medics who initially responded to the call were placed on administrative duty and were clinically suspended by the Pinellas County EMS Medical Director’s Office. Both the medical director’s office and Clearwater Fire & Rescue are looking into the incident.

The genocide is moving beyond the clot shots.
Something is not right here.
How do two medics get it this wrong?
Gage and De Soto never screwed up like that.
“Well excuuuuuuse me!”
EMS had to transport the fakers in the hood, I ounce told an ambulance crew that they had to transport a lady that was obviously faking because the fire department were the only people in the room not carrying guns.

Chet would never let them live it down.
I don’t get it.
Monte Python got it right.

One wonders what the standards were for those two to become paramedics - and the screening process, if there even was one.
:)
Sue them back to the stone age, Phebe.
😆
BTW the wrist is a really bad place to check for a pulse in this type of situation because any number of things can block blood flow to limbs
Neck is best. Temple is good. Apical is good. Groin works but can lead to some misunderstandings.
All the rest are limb pulses and not to be trusted for a sign of life check.
If you watch any of Hollywood’s “first responder” TV shows you’ll see that the young kids have a lot more going through their minds than doing their “first responder” stuff. They all have gay pardners to worry about.

No, not quite dead and in the mortuary or grave, but close enough.
If anyone wants on the list PM me! If you were accidentally added to this short, almost moribund list PM to remove.
