Jason Green, 32 & Melissa Jackson, 23, Two EMT Workers Who Turned Their Backs on Helping Eutisha Revee Rennix as She Died in Brooklyn Coffee Shop

EMTs Jason Green, 32, and Melissa Jackson, 23, have been suspended after witnesses at a Brooklyn coffee shop said they failed to help Eutisha Revee Rennix, who was six months pregnant and later died after suffering from a seizure. The pair told witnesses in the Au Bon Pain coffee shop that they should call 911 and they left with their bagels. The incident occurred on December 9, 2009. They should have been suspended without pay from day one when their callous behavior was documented and not after Mayor Michael Bloomberg expressed his anger about the untimely death of this woman.

According to the NY Daily News, Green and Jackson  are reportedly dating. They work in the Emergency Medical Service dispatch center in the Metrotech complex, and their offices are directly above the Au Bon Pain where Rennix worked.  The two have been suspended without pay while the investigation continues. FDNY officials said Green had been an EMT for six years and Jackson for four.

Anyone who has a heart, whether or not they were on their break, would have helped this woman in some way. There is no reason why these two EMT workers were so callous and uncaring that they turned their backs on this woman. They should be fired immediately.
