The story is below but the details are that the 999 operator was on the end of the phone which the paramedics didn't realise, they entered the home firstly discussing how minging the place looked, they then looked at the patient discussing if it was worth saving him then agreed to pretend he was already dead when they got there and did not try to revive him How awful for the family They should be done with murder

Paramedics held over man's death

Two paramedics have been arrested on suspicion of neglecting to perform a public duty following the death of a man in Brighton.

South East Coast Ambulance Service said the men, aged 35 and 44, and both from Brighton, had been questioned and bailed to a date in January.

The pair have been suspended from the ambulance service pending the Sussex Police investigation.

Barry Baker, 58, died at his home in Braybon Avenue on 29 November.

A spokesman for South East Ambulance said: "South East Coast Ambulance Service has suspended two male members of staff from duty as police conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of a man at his home.

"The men were arrested by Sussex Police on 5 December on suspicion of wilfully neglecting to perform duty in a public office.

"We are giving the police our full co-operation in this matter and are not in a position to comment further at this time due to the police investigation taking place."
The men were questioned on suspicion of wilfully neglecting their duty

An inquest into the death of Mr Baker was opened and adjourned on 17 December by Her Majesty's Coroner for the City of Brighton and Hove.

Mr Baker's neighbour Ralph Virgo said: "It was so sudden, there he was going to work one day but we woke up on the Saturday morning to see the ambulance and the police car, then the coroner's car.

"We just couldn't believe it."

Mr Virgo said Mr Baker had lived alone following the deaths of his parents, worked as a civil servant and had experienced trouble with his hips, which left him walking with a stick.

"He went to work looking as smart as a button, always tidy and clean," he said.

Mr Virgo said he had spoken to Mr Baker's relatives when the property was cleared before Christmas and understood a remembrance service was due to take place at All Saints Church in Patcham in January.

Disgusting

I went into hospital once, only out patients, for a minor op (laser surgery on my cervix) but I needed to be put under to have it done, and I overheard some nurses stood around talking about a patient who had obviously been under an anesthetic. They were saying how skinny and scrawny they were and really being rude and joking around. I thought omg what will they say about me? Horrible cows

At the same visit I was also threatened with a fine because I read my notes at the end of my bed. I found out I have spina bifida occulta, but thats another story
