A medical director who oversees paramedic services says paramedics must assume the worst, and assume that until proven otherwise when responding to a call, like the one where Yosif Al-Hasnawi was shot and killed on Dec. 2, 2017. What I say to trainees is you start with saying to yourself, what could kill this patient? said Dr. Richard Verbeek, medical director for Toronto paramedics at the Sunnybrook Centre for Prehospital Medicine.
He testified on Monday at the trial of two former Hamilton paramedics Christopher Marchant, 32, and Steven Snively, 55 who are charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life for the teenager. They have pleaded not guilty in the landmark trial where paramedics are criminally charged based on the care they give a patient.
Police say a 33-year-old worker was transported to hospital Thursday and later died.
