The article headline said this An EMT said this Delaware County COVID patient didn’t need to go to the hospital. She died the next day but it changed when I linked it on the mobile app

I mean, as a layperson I know that if your pulse ox reading is under 50% that you are in serious trouble... that seems pretty damning.

You're good

Are EMTs not required to learn anything? Like in what world would an oxygen level being that low be okay and if your equipment is that supposedly faulty wouldn't you cover your ass and take the person. Also fuck that EMT who's like "I got a family", how many cases did that fuck face mess up.

In January 2021 EMT companies were almost certainly taking basically anyone willing.

It was a dangerous and low paying job that is both physically and emotionally draining. I doubt you were signing up.

Taking anyone willing to work with no training or education is much just as if not more dangerous than having no one on the job.

It's about 240 hours of education+ hs diploma, so it's not great. There's a perpetual shortage and no one with a degree in medicine would want to do it so here we are

they didn’t even send EMTs out. the people that showed up after her 911 call weren’t qualified to administer an IV😵‍💫
