Three Rialto firefighters failed to provide “reasonable and professional care” and ignored pleas for help by nurses when they refused to enter an acute care center and treat a man in full cardiac arrest because of coronavirus protocols, according to a report released by the city.
The city report emphasized that “there can be no delay or unnecessary distractions in providing patient care and transport.” Fire Chief Brian Park said in an email Friday that local or state emergency medical service providers, including Rialto’s, were never prohibited from entering skilled nursing facilities to provide care, especially for high-acuity patients or facilities needing assistance.
“The goal was to reduce cross-contamination during the extremely high percentage of low-acuity incidents; the goal was not to prevent personnel from entering to assist in high-acuity situations or when requested for aid,” Park said. “This direction was reinforced in departmental training, briefings, emails, and meetings. There was a continuous emphasis to take care of our patients, our community, and each other.
Attorneys at the law firm Mastagni Holstedt, representing the three firefighers, did not respond to a request for comment.While Gilliam, Payne and Brady did not enter the acute care center that evening, Rialto police Cpl. Ralph Ballew did. His, provided by the Rialto Police Department, shows the officer passing Gilliam and Payne, standing at each side of the entrance, to enter the facility.
But move Angulo they did. Ballew assisted several staff members in pushing Angulo’s bed out his room, down the hallway and to the exit, while a staff member sat atop Angulo on the bed performing chest compressions.
