EMTs have to make a detailed report of every call, both for the patient's medical records and in case that goes to court. Here it'd be important for the medical examiner. This EMT works for some kind of corporate fleet so they'd be logging things internally too.
It's why I couldn't work in any sector of medicine any longer. Saving someone just feels like being a vampire who's giving a now-disabled person a $100k+ debt to pay off. The single medicaid bed in that $3700/mo nursing home requires that the patient liquidates their entire estate down to >$3000 and now they're a prisoner being mined for medicaid billing milestones. People walk out of the clinic because their eyes are luxury organs and they can't afford to see. Participating in that just felt evil.
I am worried that this is the scenario for my mom who's been in the hospital since January and even though she can't walk is going to be forced out at the end of next month because insurance is running out. Good country.

Thanks for the response. And christ.
