There was a tragic news story in the local papers this morning. A young man, 16, was being transferred from a local hospital to a psychiatric facility about 2 ½ hours away. Soon after the ambulance reached the interstate, the young man somehow escaped from his restraints and jumped out of the back of the ambulance to his death.
The comments following the story were critical of the ambulance staff. Apparently, the people sharing their opinions seemed to think that the attendants were to blame for the death. I have no opinion on fault as I wasn’t there and I don’t have all the facts concerning the incident. It is just so sad that so many people are so quick to judge.
One comment read, “They should have put the ambulance on cruise control and had the driver sit back there and help hold him down so he couldn’t jump out. This may be an epidemic.” This is another one of those “Huh?” comments.

That commenter might benefit from a visit to a psychiatric facility.
