This guy must hate his kid because he did everything he could to try to kill her. What is that supposed to mean?
To: NavVet
On the other hand, my daughter was DOA at the scene of an accident and bayflighted to St Pete. FL trauma center where they brought her back to life. 2 days later we found her by calling hospitals. The police were unwilling to release her name or any information.

Oh my, yes, let emts treat your (possibly) dying child, when you are a doctor trained in emergency care. That makes sense!
To: Robert A. Cook, PE
No smart*** But if you are worried about panicing parents interfering with the care of the injured person, maybe you stabilize the patient and then call the parent when the ambulance is on the way to the hospital.
That's another issue and not my call to make. However, if you do call the father and indicate that his daughter is dying, don't act shocked when he tries to get to his daughter.
Using your logic, you would call the parent to let them know the child was dying, but then tell them they are going to have to stand behind the yellow line when they got there.

I'm surprised that the Florida cops didn't taser him.

I agree. Unfortunately, that is what the cops did.
Then, they prosecuted the father for reacting against THEIR intimidation and assault.
THAT is unexcuseable.

"Basically, he made a very serious and stressful situation worse,"Who was the victim?
A citizen of the state or a Fathers daughter?

unless this father prevented better care for his daughter, which it really doesnt sound like he did, give the guy a break. Per the article it appears that he was in a compulsive state of concern for a loved one after getting the distressing phone call.

Just to shed a little light on how ridiculous and destructive this kind of police state mentality is, if this father is convicted and he and his wife later wanted to adopt a child, the felony conviction would exclude him as an "appropriate" parent.

"Someone with sense enough to let the emergency personnel tend to the patient when timely treatment could make the difference between life and death." He's a doctor! HE could have made the difference between life and death. Last time I checked, doctors still had more medical training than EMT's and cops.

I was bitter with the township police for quite awhile, but realized some years later that they may have save me from seeing my daughter grotesquely mutilated. She was hit head on by a drunk driver in a Bronco while she was riding her bike home from work.
My tag line is for her, it was one of her favorite Beatle songs.

When the medic helicopters are on the ground there is a perimeter for a reason. At Salem Hospital they can not even land until a perimeter of fire vehicles are present.
A landed running bird is considered an explosion hazard, especially if hit by another vehicle.
The charges are ridiculous in this case, only because a disaster did not occur; probably to be dismissed once the point is made.
