One things that needs to be made clear here is that regardless of where this individual worked, these things happen at City levels, County levels, and higher. This has nothing to do with where he worked. He made a very terrible decision to cause harm to a patient, and this he should pay for if he is convicted. Those others working within the same system he is from, I wish my very best. Keep your heads up and keep saving lives. The management needs to address why this did happen.

Mr. Waller,

Every person has her/his own opinions to whatever is happening around her/him. Merely my opinion was that of the "flames of hell". After reading Rescuefrog's comment...it is clear that my opinion is made crystal clear.

I looked at several articles regarding this medic. According to the articles Livingston has admitted to touching this gal and that it was not medically necessary to do so. I didn't find any info that said how and why he decided to touch her (he put his hand down her pants). Livingston is still in jail and according to the articles lowering if his bail was denied. With all this, they must have something on him. It will come out soon enough. If in fact it is all true- this is the sort of stuff that's makes us all look bad.

How about we let the legal system try Mr. Livingston prior to us trying him here? Our opinions are pretty meaningless until Mr. Livingston goes to court...if he ever does.

It is pretty easy for a "he said-she said" situation to come up when you have one EMT in the patient compartment with one patient. There are other situations that can explain complaints of this nature - a patient that is mentally ill or that is confused from a medical condition or head trauma, for example. A "frequent flyer" with a pre-existing grudge is another possibility in this type of situation.

I'm perfectly happy to avoid a rush to judgement and to let the legal system do its job. If Mr. Livingston did cross the line, he'll probably pay the criminal, professional, and social price.

I'm perfectly happy to let someone with more power and insight than I consign evildoers to the flames of hell...that decision will be made far above my pay grade as well.

From The Goddess:

If Mr. Livingston did do this to this patient then not only should he be fired and be locked up...but he should burn in the flames of hell. If the patient lied to seek attention then I hope and back Mr. Livingston to file perjury charges against this patient also seek damages and have her locked up and burn in the flames of hell herself!!!
