Kentucky paramedics may lose licenses for saving a man's life with antivenom, violating state rules.
Two Kentucky paramedics may lose their licenses for giving antivenom to Jim Harrison, a reptile researcher bitten by a Jameson’s mamba, despite saving his life.
The treatment was authorized by an ER doctor after the paramedics, unable to contact their supervisor, consulted remotely.
However, Kentucky law restricts antivenom administration to certified wilderness paramedics, a category the responders do not hold.
The Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services is reviewing the case, with a hearing scheduled to determine whether the paramedics’ emergency actions should result in disciplinary action.
