Reply to "This just isn't right."

i think you would have to know the circumstances of the situation. the paramedic surely had the patient's care foremost in his decision. of course we all make mistakes in judgement at times. without being in their situation, i really couldn't make a judgement call against them.
i can truthfully tell you, that in 25 years of working as a paramedic, i never once knew of a circumstance where insurance or lack of, was considered in the care a patient received prior to arrival at the medical facility. most times, that info was unknown prior to paperwork being handled after the call.
also, i'm sure the paramedic was treating the patient during this time. they have the equipment, drugs, and the medical knowledge of what is best for the patient's condition. and they are in direct contact with the ER doctor, following his orders.
