The Cardiac Arrest Call On September 10th, 2017, And Supervisor Carlock 's Charge Of Insubordination

At this time, Supervisor Carlock had met up with us on Bold Springs Rd. near Station 8. He pulled behind our unit and I stopped also. Upon feeling our unit stop, Paramedic Kennedy shouted “WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I SAID DON’T STOP!” Due to darkness and all of the flashing lights, I could not tell if Supervisor Carlock was standing outside of his vehicle, so I proceeded to drive to the hospital. I called supervisor Carlock and advised him what Paramedic Kennedy told me to do, and he answered 10-4. We arrived at Clearview at 2231 Hrs. and took the patient to room 14. I went back outside and began to put our unit back together when Supervisor Carlock approached me and in a very agitated voice said: “WHY DID YOU PULL OFF?” Surprised, I said “What are you talking about?” He said loudly, “I TOLD YOU TO STOP AND YOU DIDN’T!” I replied, “Jeff was telling me not to stop because we had a pulse back.” He said “I DON’T CARE WHAT JEFF SAID, I’M YOUR SUPERVISOR AND I TOLD YOU TO STOP!” I said “Dennis, I think you’re talking to the wrong person, you need to be talking to Jeff, I was doing what he told me to do.” He replied “WHO’S YOUR SUPERVISOR, WHO’S YOUR SUPERVISOR, I AM, NOT JEFF, YOU DO WHAT I SAY!” I said ”yes, you are the supervisor, but at that moment I was doing what the Paramedic in charge of patient care was telling me to do, and what I felt was best for the Pt., since we had a 41 Y/O patient who had a pulse.” He said “I DON’T CARE, YOU DO WHAT I SAY!
