Watch the video of first responders standing idly outside an acute care facility while nurses inside worked furiously to resuscitate a man dying of cardiac arrest.
The daughter of a man who died of cardiac arrest after Rialto paramedics refused to enter a care facility where he was a patient has filed a $100 million wrongful death claim against the Fire Department.
The paramedics cited a state COVID-19 protocol as the reason for not entering the facility, telling nursing staff they had to bring Angulo outside. Despite repeated pleas by frustrated nurses that the paramedics come inside to help, they would not budge. Ballew, now a sergeant, did enter the facility, hurriedly helping nurses navigate Angulo’s wheel-less bed through the hallway as a nurse stayed mounted atop the bed performing chest compressions, desperately trying to resuscitate him.
The paramedics also asked the nurses if they were on a shift change, which seemed to immediately upset all staffers, who yelled out “No!” in unison, according to Ballew’s report. Ballew said in his report that Rialto Fire Department personnel told him they had not received any direction on how to proceed in such situations “from their command.”
