A Baltimore City Paramedic Is Arrested For Assaulting A Patient

BALTIMORE, Md. - Lives are saved every day in ambulances, even when they're on the line from a self-induced drug overdose.  That was the case for Baltimore City paramedic Shaun White, 31, on September 8th.
He left the station at Eutaw and Lombard following an overdose call. 
"She's a combative patient on the stretcher.  He had to tie her down because she was wailing away, gets her in the back of the medic unit, she actually had to be restrained in the hospital, and he's arrested," said Rick Hoffman, president, Baltimore City firefighter’s union.

On the other hand they would have been sued if they had not responded.

Patients who have OD's should not be allowed to sue unless the circumstances CLEARLY prove that an assault took place. They don't know what's going on to start with.
