Never leave a wounded enemy at your back!
As a paramedic, are you trained in how to prioritize patients, and how does this type of scenario fit that training?

They transported the shot thug 1st I never forgot that.
The thug did not survive and was DOA. Partner recovered after surgeries and long rehab time.
If the responders didn't suspect that your partners injuries were life-threatening, then they may have been following protocol to attempt to treat the patient with life-threatening injuries first (I use the term patient, because he was clearly not a victim). I would also be angry that they would treat a dangerous criminal before they would treat an innocent victim of a stabbing attack with very real injuries. Very glad to hear that he recovered.
There is no written rule, however it's an understood among those of us that have medical training EMTs, Paramedics that the good guy goes first, the bad guy started the whole thing and can suffer! I know alot of EMS workers that have said they would transport a Police Dog to a vet before taking a bad guy to an ER, I'd probably lose my job but that is my view also!
