I know it's off topic, but what the heck. When my department needed a MedFlight bird for a critical priority 1 trauma patient, we were told the helicopter was not flying due to weather. The odd part was that (2) separate news helicopters were actively hovering over our scene taping for the...
If he's interested in Boston EMS (which he mentioned twice), he doesnt have anything to worry about. Polygraphs are illegal in Massachusetts even for public safety positions. Psych exams are standard, but polygraphs are a no-go.
It seems, to me anyway, that the physician medical director probably only had the run sheet/report to go on, thus not reporting anything. The report says they continued CPR and transported. The problem comes in when the on-scene supervisor is contradicting the run sheet by saying that he saw...

In my state, EMS isn't allowed to shut the highway down, only police can control...
I've been the cop handling crash scenes with multiple EMS/Fire units on scene. This isnt foreign to me. Any cop who starts :censored: like this is a jerkoff. But, to assume, as many here seem to, that cops are all useless, power hungry, trouble makers, isnt fair.
Just as it wouldnt be fair to...
I don't see where the OP identified the agency, or the people involved. Secondly, especially if he/she works for a government, municipal, or otherwise contracted EMS service, most if not all of the non patient related incident reports would be accessible to anyone through a public records...
