The provincial health department said on Monday two paramedics have been placed under immediate precautionary suspension to allow an investigation to proceed without hindrance.
“It is alleged that after responding to a distress call, the paramedics refused to alight from an ambulance and walk down a stairway to reach the patient,” the department said. They allegedly said “it’s not our job to walk down the stairs” and demanded that the patient be brought up by her relatives instead.
“While neighbours were trying to carry the patient up the stairway, the paramedics allegedly accused them of being 'too slow' and 'wasting our time' and left the scene.”
