The Union that represents NS Paramedics issued a statement regarding an incident that occurred on StFX campus over the weekend. A snapchat video circulating shows at least 2 individuals on the roof of an ambulance.
The statement reads in part:
What if paramedics had been in the ambulance treating a patient? Many procedures can be delicate and require a steady hand – rocking and shaking of the vehicle can cause serious harm.
What if paramedics had returned to the ambulance with a patient in critical condition and in need of immediate transport? Minutes and seconds can be the difference between life and death. Waiting for inconsiderate party-goers to remove themselves from the ambulance could’ve cost valuable life-saving time.
