A Baltimore City paramedic crew is under investigation for the way they handled a blind, diabetic and homeless patient, the WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team has learned.
Paramedics said the patient was verbally abusive and violent on the way to the hospital and he demanded to be let out of the ambulance, and the paramedics obliged by leaving him in an alley.
It's a sacred trust between residents and government: A 911 medical call will be answered, and unless the patient refuses treatment, they will be transported. But what happened after a Baltimore City EMS crew picked up a patient is under investigation.
Jacqueline Cummings made a complaint about what she said she witnessed on Sept. 27 that still bothers her.

Seems to me they went out of their way to accommodate his and everyone else's wishes. I see they ad no other choices. They are not a taxi company.
