A paramedic who told a seriously ill man to 'just take immodium' two hours before he died and who altered the notes of his oxygen levels so she didn't have to take him to hospital has been suspended for one year.
Debbie Porter was a paramedic and had a seven-year unblemished record working when she and her colleague were called out to a 31-year-old man who was seriously ill.
A tribunal hearing heard how Miss Porter was the lead clinician on the scene and failed to recognise how ill the man, who has not been named, was. Miss Porter was a Band 6 paramedic when she went to the man’s house at 2.19pm on August 20, 2018, according to the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service hearing.
