BAMF Of The Day: Detroit EMT Has Heart Attack While Performing On Patient, Drops Him Off Anyway
A Detroit EMS technician performing CPR on a patient en route to a hospital suddenly had a heart attack himself this morning.
Joseph Hardman “had a heart attack on the way to the hospital,” says union rep Joe Barney. “He nearly died, had to go to surgery.”
Thirty EMS techs have left the department over work conditions and loss of pay, Barney said. The department is down to about 150 from 304 eight years ago.
