Most Emergency Medical Technicians, otherwise known as EMT's, are caring individuals who really do want to help other people. However, every profession has its shares of jerks and EMT's are no different, as a recent news item points out.
While at the grisly scene of a murder, a Staten Island, New York EMT decided to pass the time by taking some photos of a young female victim who had apparently expired, after being strangled with an electric cord. Instead of feeling pity for this fellow human being who lost her life at the hands of a killer, the unfeeling EMT posted the macabre pics on Facebook, apparently believing other individuals would find them "amusing.".
His bosses at Richmond University Medical Center were pretty ticked, when they learned their employee had featured the photos of the murdered woman online and they, justifiably, bounced his idiotic backside from his job.
He reportedly posted photos from other horrific incidents he had photographed while on duty, as well.
We are not talking here about some young, immature guy. This man was a 46-year-old ex-cop who should have known better.
When you realize that somebody like this fool was given the responsibility of dealing with people who are at their most vulnerable, it's pretty darn scary that he was actually hired in the first place.
