A $2 million lawsuit alleges that a New York City EMT punched a restrained patient in the face after the man drooled on him. The puncher was apparently trying to put an oxygen mask on the man when he got some spit on him, which inspired the first-response to his face -- again, for effect, of a restrained man. Here's the story, told as only the Post can:
An FDNY emergency medical technician turned the Hippocratic Oath on its ear, slugging a restrained patient in the face during a ride to Kings County Hospital, a $2 million suit alleges.
Dennis Mathis, 25, was strapped onto a stretcher last Dec. 1 when he incurred the wrath of an EMT by drooling on him, according to the suit.
The "Drool-Fool EMT," as the Post calls him, apparently broke the patient's jaw.
