Even if it is the facility’s policy to call EMT always, she will have to explain why she did not follow the dispatcher’s instructions. There is only one good reason not to: a DNR form in her hands. She did not have one, nor did she showed it to the EMT when they arrived 7min later. I understand they aggressively attempted resuscitation and brought her to a local hospital, only in the hospital the lady was declared dead. Also, now the employee is the villain, won’t be easy for her to defend her good faith and good name.
