http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1692333.eceAn ambulanceman put a prawn on the chin of a heart-attack patient about to be given an electric shock — and joked: “Let’s see if we can cook this,” a medical panel heard yesterday. Technician John Jones took it from a colander in the victim’s kitchen, it was claimed. After the man had been shocked by a defibrillator, Jones said: “360 joules won’t cook a prawn”, a London hearing was told.
A colleague tried resuscitation, but the patient — whose wife had been preparing prawn cocktails at their home on the Isle of Wight — later died in hospital. The prawn allegation came to light during an investigation into paramedic Clive Greedy, 46 — who ate a stick of celery as the patient lay on the floor. Nicola Hill, prosecuting for the Health Professions Council, told the hearing: “His behaviour disregarded the patient and reduced his dignity and that is unacceptable.”
