In Ohio (Well at least in my county) The partner should have been a Paramed AND in charge being she is an EMT but I don’t know how it works in Michigan.
After reading the full report, it looks like the partner was an EMT too. The partner was not fired or disciplined, apparently because Thomas (the fired one) was driving, and the partner was subordinate to Thomas. Apparently the partner pressed Thomas to respond, but she said no...
If I had been her partner, I would have gotten out of the SUV and ran the block to try to help the baby. But, I guess it would have been very difficult to fire the partner under these circumstances.
