Probably the poor guy who was forced to wait PRECIOUS, LIFE-THREATENING SECONDS to see if the female EMT could ACTUALLY DO HER JOB WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A MALE.

Sorry wrong. If the guy died, then his injuries were just too serious. There are some things that Dr.'s can not fix unless they are right on top of the person when the shooting happens, and even then there are a lot of limits. You will hear from Emergency Doc's that there is an amazing lot that they can DO to people and sometimes precious little they can do FOR them.

To jump to the conclusion that it was the fault of the female EMT's is not only short-sighted and bigoted, it is ignorance. You have no idea what the injuries were to the person, not to mention the possible survivablity of those injuries vs. time from injury.

You are right, I don't know all the facts (but neither do you), but notice I use qualifiers like, "appear" and "probably".

It's a FACT though, 'cause it is ON TAPE, that this female could NOT do her job at that moment, which was to get the guy up in the ambulance in a timely manner, POTENTIALLY giving him a better chance of survival.

If there are wimpy male EMT's that can't do it, they should find another line of work as well.

It is funny that telling it like it is, is attacked as "bigoted" and/or "ignorant". This is usually a LIBERAL tactic to quell dissent from their left-wing party line, which in this case, is the notion that men and women are alike in every way and interchangeable in most every job.

Just as I said about women in the military (and I say the same about female EMT's), GOD BLESS THEM, but... if they can't do everything that their job/MOS requires, they should NOT be doing that job.
