Just being an outsider looking in...this guy would certainly concern me with the temper he displayed that night. To be an EMT and Volunteer Fire Fighter he should be ashamed of hisself today!

He's a Paramedic actually which means he's work hard to get to where he is in life, just because he made a stupid mistake which, isnt accurate on any reports, this does not mean he cant do his job! Yes noone is perfect I know of Doctors, Lawyers, and police officers that have done worse things and can still do thier job! No outside looking in should judge a person they dont know!
