Three emergency medicаl services emplоyees were returning tо their оffice in аn аmbulance after having had lunch. An EMT in the rear of the vehicle turned on the power to a manual cardiac defibrillator, adjusted its energy to a high setting, and picked up the defibrillator paddles. He jokingly told a female employee riding in the passenger seat of the ambulance that “I’m going to get you.” She screamed and told him to get the paddles away from her.
