Death by Defib

Apparently, we need an IQ test for EMTs now, at least in Virginia:

LEBANON -- Joshua Philip Martin was in his fourth day on the job as a rescue-squad worker in Russell County when, in a playful mood, he decided to reach into the front seat of the ambulance and zap one of his co-workers with the defibrillator paddles. The rookie's mistake was fatal.
Y'know, really, "good kid" or not, killing someone is bad even if you're just stupid.

Thanks for pointing this out, Reynolds.
