I know that EMTs are NOT paramedics, but for God's sake, put down the coffee and call another ambulance if you can't handle the situation.

BTW, I hope the perp got plenty of overtime while on coffee break.

That's the most important aspect of the story.

So long as her union position and pension are safe, why make such a fuss over a trivial matter like this?

Apparently she did call the ambulance:

Jackson called an ambulance, but refused to help the woman.

I think the thrust of the Daily News story is that she lacked the milk of human kindness in refusing to even look at the woman. While I semi-agree with that, I don’t know if she’s taking on liability if she looks at the woman and then decides she lacks the know-how to deal with her medical problem. While I enjoy Monday morning quarterbacking as much as the next guy, this is how she earns her living, and taking on unknown risks that may kill a patient, thereby resulting in suspension and/or being banned for life from the profession is not something a typical accountant or soda jerk has to deal with.
