Okay maybe this was a little different.

Of course, he was walking to work. Now if he was walking to breakfast then the story would have turned out differently.

Whacker!!

Just kidding. Great to see a positive story from above the Mason-Dixon for once!

Someone needs to check that guy's immigration status though.

Chalk one up for a good response ! You know it had to hurt his wrist, but still did it. Glad to hear all are doing well. Great warm fuzzy story for the holidays.

Well with all the bad publicity for the FDNY at least they also got recognized for something good.

[fireflymedic]

I agree TSK ! Just goes to show that the actions of 2 potentially bad EMS guys doesn't make all of FDNY bad. There's plenty of good people that work there as well I'm sure. Just unfortunately as many say you're only as good as your weakest link, and they brought negative publicity on the dept. At least this is a good story for them to show not all are the way those guys acted.

I think it is great that he did it, good positive publicity when too many times we (EMS) are only in the news for all the wrong reasons.

I am a little confused though. The headline says

An EMT recovering from a broken wrist

but further on it says

Despite his sprained wrist

.

Without being critical of the actions of this man, it would have been painful either way, but why cant meadia outlets get it right. Last time I checked, there was a big difference between the two.

Just watch.. If he's on comp b/c of that, they'll say that he can work with the injury and get denied any further care, etc.

That's how it works for those who try to do good. They get screwed by the system.

[EMS49393]

It sounds like he did a great thing and I foresee a screwing in his future for his good deed. It's a real shame if it happens. FDNY should be thanking him for facilitating some much-needed good press (even if the media doesn't know the difference between a sprain and a fracture) by acting like a compassionate professional.

AussiePhil, they cant even get his name right! In the article its Wynn, on his shirt its LIN and the video also says LIN !
