A New Jersey Paramedic Dies From Cardiac Arrest While Tending To A Patient

by Kendra James, RN on June 19th, 2007

When the tables turn it is a scary situation for everyone involved.  Paramedics, doctors, nurses and EMT’s are expected to come on the scene and help a patient in any way that they can.  What happens when it is one of our own that goes down?  It’s scary!  And it reminds everyone involved that no one is untouchable…

Joseph Murawski, 51, a South Amboy resident and paramedic with Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy, was pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. First-aid colleagues said he was taking care of a patient in an ambulance when he went into cardiac arrest.

That is just not suppose to happen.  We are suppose to help others, not need help ourselves.  Healthcare professionals just aren’t wired to think that way!
