Also forgot to add that you are 100% correct. 

Let us say that Kasz is an EMT and is on an off day and he happens to have an incident happen right down the block from his home, hearing that someone was stabbed, shot, etc... he would then be obligated as part of his job to treck his ass down the street and see if he could provide any kind of medical attention for the victim until the paramedics arrive.

 

This EMT who was killed, he was in the same damn place as this woman and part of his job was to help her. Instead he chose to be an asshole and walk away saying "Call 911" even though the people who would have come are the same as him, the person who was probably no more than 10 feet away.

Due to his laziness a woman died as well as a prematurely born child.

 

I am disgusted at the fact that he got to keep his job. We have many people in the US willing to work their asses off for a job right now and we keep negligent asses like him... -_-

Just seems... odd to me that you HAVE to help...

It only seems odd to you because you most likely do not work in the medical field.

When you take a job like this you take an oath, one that requires you to help whenever you are available to help, whether it be an accident on the expressway, a violence crime in your neighborhood or even an injury of someone at your workplace.

This oath makes you obligated to provide any medical attention you can to insure that these people are alright until the paramedics arrive.

 

Some here may think that is extreme, but when you one day end up in that kind of situation you will be eternally thankful that something that like is set in place, or else an EMT, Nurse, Doctor, etc... could just walk away from you as you lay dying, injured in a car waiting for assistance, etc...

So like I said, be thankful that *many*, not all of the people working in this field obey the oath they swore to.
