I found this article in the New York Daily News. It is about two EMTs who were on their lunch break when a pregnant woman stopped breathing at the same place where they were at. The employees asked for help because they noticed the EMTs were in their uniforms. All they did was call another disbatcher to come to the scene. They did not do anything to help this woman. The six-month pregnant woman and her premature baby died a few hours later. The two EMTs returned to work again after having a 30-day suspension. There are many people that are upset by them still having a job, including the fire commissioner of New York. The forensics department is also doing an autopsy on the pregnant woman to find out why she stopped breathing.
