Description

On a hot Texas summer day, Dallas Fire responded to a grass fire on the side of the road.  Their subsequent encounter with a gentleman named Kyle Vess – all caught on surveillance camera - led to an ongoing lawsuit alleging “an abuse of power and a deliberate indifference to the life and welfare of the underprivileged in Dallas”.  What is the role of paramedics when confronted with a possible suspect?  Is it ever appropriate to fight a patient?  Are certain policies and practices of the department contributing to a perception (or a reality) that marginalized individuals are being treated differently?  Nick and Sam discuss all this and more.  Please like, comment, and subscribe!
