A Detroit EMT has been fired after she refused to go into a home to try and save an 8-month-old baby that ended up dying the next day.
Ann Marie Thomas was less than a mile away from the scene on the city’s west side, but never showed up because she was worried the baby’s family would get agitated at responding emergency medical technicians, WDIV-TV reported.
"I'm not about to be on no scene 10 minutes doing CPR, you know how these families get," she told her boss, according to a report obtained by the news station.
Thomas was just a two-minute drive from the scene after responding to a nearby home. But it took her about six minutes to get close to baby Aniyah Wright and she then refused to go in until another crew arrived on scene, some 12 minutes later.
An EMS supervisor immediately reprimanded Thomas on the radio for her neglect of duty.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
