A fourth-day EMT was playing around with defibrillator paddles and shocked a coworker as a prank. Defibrillator paddles are what are used to restart a person's heart if it stops (when the person shouts "Clear!" and shocks someone). Unfortunately for this guy, they can also stop a beating heart. The coworker he shocked, a mother of two, was unconcious for three days and then died. The maximum possible sentence (for involuntary manslaughter) is 10 years in prison. |

He shouldn't have been messing around with that! I mean, come on! What person in their right mind would shock someone with that as a prank?! It's so stupid!! All because of someone's immature behavior, someone lost their life. It's just plain ridiculous! I don't care if he meant to do it or not. They shouldn't let anyone on a job like that who likes to play pranks.

That guy should have known that something like that could happen. If something has the ability to restart/stop someones heart you should not be using it to play a practical joke on someone. I don't see why people do stuff that is obviously dangerous. If people would just stop and think before they act we would be a lot better off.

Who would be that idiotic to do that kind of stuff? If that thing has the ability to stop/revive a person's heart, that's something you shouldn't even touch withouth no reason.

O man. That's horrible! You would think that if you were new on the job you wouldn't want to make stupid mistakes. What an idiot!

He should really get like three life sentences for that - what a dingbat!!! Why on earth would someone be playing with a defribillator? Or any other mediacal equipment for that matter?

What really scares me is that this guy is supposedly a highly educated medical technitian with at least four years of training and an above-average IQ. It seems colleges are letting any dimwit get past the final exam these days.
