Paramedics back on job after mistake
The Prince George's County paramedics who mistakenly pronounced a man dead have been returned to full duty, ABC 7 reports.
The man, 70-year-old George Waters, was pronounced dead inside a home in Glenarden on Friday. About 90 minutes later, a second team of paramedics called to the home found that he was alive.
Waters later died at the hospital.
The county's fire and emergency medical services department have completed a review of the incident and determined no other actions should be taken against the paramedics.

So you can be a paramedic without being able to tell whether a person is alive or dead?
