It must also be ppointed out that the paramedics did not know that a man was having a heart attack .A call had come in saying a man was having breathing problems/chest pains, but paramedic and fire crews get false alarm calls and then attacked by thugs just for kicks all the time unless it is chrystal clear upon arrival at the scene then a cautious approach would be needed .It is a hard position for anyone to be placed in and blaming the paramedics is well out of order in this case
