An impatient medic was arrested Friday for abandoning a 5-year-old boy at a Bronx hospital on New Year's Eve because he didn't want to wait for the paperwork, officials said.
Paul Casson, 28, of the Bronx, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child when he forged a nurse's signature because he didn't want to stick around at Lincoln Hospital, a spokeswoman for the Department of Investigation said.
The boy, whose name is being withheld, was rushed to the Bronx hospital by Casson after a Dec. 31 motor vehicle accident left him with nonlife threatening injuries.
EMTs are required to fill out Patient Care Reports and get them signed by a designated nurse before leaving the hospital, but Casson didn't bother to wait around. Casson left the boy
alone "because he didn't want to wait," a Department of Investigation spokeswoman said. Casson faces seven years in prison if convicted.
