PARAMEDIC SUSPENDED AFTER STAYING WITH SCARED CHILD UNTIL HER PARENTS ARRIVED
PARAMEDIC SUSPENDED AFTER STAYING WITH SCARED CHILD UNTIL HER PARENTS ARRIVED Nashville, TN — Veteran paramedic Ethan Brooks, 29, says he'd make the same decision again after being suspended for remaining at a hospital to comfort a frightened six-year-old girl whose parents were delayed by a highway closure. In this satirical story, Brooks had transported the child following a minor bicycle accident. Hospital staff began treatment immediately, but the little girl reportedly refused to let go of his hand after realizing neither parent had arrived. Witnesses say Brooks finished his paperwork, called dispatch to explain the situation, and spent the next 90 minutes coloring pictures, reading children's books from the waiting room, and teaching her how to fold paper airplanes from medical forms that had already been discarded. When her parents finally rushed through the emergency room doors, the girl reportedly hugged Brooks before running into their arms. Days later, Brooks was informed he'd violated company policy by remaining off assignment after completing his call instead of immediately returning to service. Asked whether he regretted it, Brooks reportedly smiled and said, "Ambulances can wait a few minutes. Scared kids shouldn't have to."
