1 A That role is designated for whoever is 1 Q Okay. So I guess that begs the question. 'Ibis
2 considered the lead paramedic taking care of that 2 is -- it's three years after the fact.
3 patient. And so since the rescue was there, it canes 3 Is it il11IX)rtant when you C011plete a report such
4 with the role as the lead paraJIEdic. 4 as this, regardless of the magnitude or not of the
5 Q Okay. And can you -- I haven't been through 5 accident, to take down accurate information?
6 EMT school, but maybe you can help us out and give us an 6 A Yes, sir.
7 idea. 7 So this report in particular -- I'm sorry. I
8 What is the role of an EMT paraJIEdic in 8 was -- I was precepting another paramedic. So I was
9 response to a car accident in general? 9 lead. He wrote the report and I reviewed it after the
10 A so your first thing you're going to be looking 10 fact.
11 for is you want scene safety. You want to make sure the 11 Q Okay. Okay. so another paraJIEdic wrote this.
12 road is as safe as you can make it. You want to see how 12 I'm glad you cleared that up.
13 many patients you"ve got, possibly how -- the extent of 13 But then as the lead crew member you review the
14 the accident. 14 report before it's finalized?
15 so in school they teach us scene safety to size 15 A That's correct. And I signed off on it.
16 up the SI, which is your PP&s: the gloves, a vest. 16 Q Okay. And why is it il11IX)rtant to -- to take
17 Depending on the intensity of the car accident you might 17 down an accurate report of an incident such as this?
18 need gear for extrication. 18 A The best reason is for better continuation of
19 Once you have those figured out, then you 19 patient care down the line, especially at the hospital,
20 decide do you need rrore trucks, do you need these other 20 because the hospitals get our reports. And so we need
21 resources or can you handle what you have. Then you go 21 to paint as good of a picture for them as what we saw
22 make patient rontact with wtJ.oever seems to be either -- 22 on-scene versus what they get in the hospital.
23 whoever seems to need the nost help acrording to triage. 23 And then even after that fact it's good to have
24 Q very good. 24 good documentation in instances like this. If it canes
25 And you respond to accidents, I presume, that 25 up later, I can refer back to it or other people can
Page 11 Page 13
1 vary from very major serious collisions with multiple 1 refer back to it in the event we cannot recall the
2 vehicles, multiple accident victims, to TIDre minor 2 incident.
3 accidents involving t\\l'.l participants. Is that fair to 3 Q Okay. But I think you said that the -- I guess
4 say? 4 the TIDst significant reason is for continuation of care
5 A That's correct. 5 inrnediately --
6 Q All right. And do you have the report from 6 A Yes, sir.
7 SeptentJer 11th, 2018, involving a patient by the name of 7 Q -- upon transport. Correct?
8 Xiao Sheng Yu? 8 A Yes, sir.
9 A Yes, sir. I have it right here. 9 Q Okay. And -- and based oo your education, your
10 Q Very good. 10 training and your experience, why is that so critical?
11 Have you had a chance to review that report, 11 A From what I •ve experienced, the hospital has a
12 Mr. Taylor? 12 hard time sanetimes picturing a car accident scene or
13 A Yes, I did. I do not recall this particular 13 what's going on with the scene from how we see it. And
14 incident, so everything I will be referencing will be 14 so writing things as accurately as possible helps paint
15 from this report. 15 a picture for the hospital and the physicians and
16 Q That was going to be my next question. 16 everybody associated with patient care after the
17 sometimes you do, but irore often than not somebody as a 17 incident, to see it through our eyes essentially.
18 first responder doesn't always have specific 18 Q Okay. So is taking a good or accurate
19 recollection. 19 report -- is that part of the training you receive to be
20 so nothing in reviewing this jogs your l!lel!K)ry 20 an 00 paramedic?
21 aoout this incident? 21 A Yes, sir.
22 A No, sir. 22 Q Very good.
23 Q okay. So I understand you'11 be testifying 23 so in this case, now that you've reviewed your
24 essentially from what you wrote in your report. Right? 24 report -- we've talked aoout the date: SeptentJer 11th,

And can you tell us what that rreans to 23 A Yes, sir. 23 be the lead crew member? Is that sanething that you 24 Q Very good. 24 start off as, or is that sanething that you achieve 25 And at the tine of this incident -- we're here 25 after sane time with the department and some experience? U.S. LEGAL SUPPORT www.uslegalsupport.com Michael Andrew Taylor September 10, 2021 Page 10 Page 12 1 A That role is designated for whoever is 1 Q Okay. So I guess that begs the question. 'Ibis 2 considered the lead paramedic taking care of that 2 is -- it's three years after the fact. 3 patient. And so since the rescue was there, it canes 3 Is it il11IX)rtant when you C011plete a report such 4 with the role as the lead paraJIEdic. 4 as this, regardless of the magnitude or not of the 5 Q Okay. And can you -- I haven't been through 5 accident, to take down accurate information? 6 EMT school, but maybe you can help us out and give us an 6 A Yes, sir. 7 idea. 7 So this report in particular -- I'm sorry. I 8 What is the role of an EMT paraJIEdic in 8 was -- I was precepting another paramedic. So I was 9 response to a car accident in general? 9 lead. He wrote the report and I reviewed it after the 10 A so your first thing you're going to be looking 10 fact. 11 for is you want scene safety. You want to make sure the 11 Q Okay. Okay. so another paraJIEdic wrote this. 12 road is as safe as you can make it. You want to see how 12 I'm glad you cleared that up. 13 many patients you"ve got, possibly how -- the extent of 13 But then as the lead crew member you review the 14 the accident. 14 report before it's finalized? 15 so in school they teach us scene safety to size 15 A That's correct. And I signed off on it. 16 up the SI, which is your PP&s: the gloves, a vest. 16 Q Okay. And why is it il11IX)rtant to -- to take 17 Depending on the intensity of the car accident you might 17 down an accurate report of an incident such as this? 18 need gear for extrication. 18 A The best reason is for better continuation of 19 Once you have those figured out, then you 19 patient care down the line, especially at the hospital, 20 decide do you need rrore trucks, do you need these other 20 because the hospitals get our reports. And so we need 21 resources or can you handle what you have. Then you go 21 to paint as good of a picture for them as what we saw 22 make patient rontact with wtJ.oever seems to be either -- 22 on-scene versus what they get in the hospital. 23 whoever seems to need the nost help acrording to triage. 23 And then even after that fact it's good to have 24 Q very good. 24 good documentation in instances like this. If it canes 25 And you respond to accidents, I presume, that 25 up later, I can refer back to it or other people can Page 11 Page 13 1 vary from very major serious collisions with multiple 1 refer back to it in the event we cannot recall the 2 vehicles, multiple accident victims, to TIDre minor 2 incident. 3 accidents involving t\\l'.l participants. Is that fair to 3 Q Okay. But I think you said that the -- I guess 4 say? 4 the TIDst significant reason is for continuation of care 5 A That's correct. 5 inrnediately -- 6 Q All right. And do you have the report from 6 A Yes, sir. 7 SeptentJer 11th, 2018, involving a patient by the name of 7 Q -- upon transport. Correct? 8 Xiao Sheng Yu? 8 A Yes, sir. 9 A Yes, sir. I have it right here. 9 Q Okay. And -- and based oo your education, your 10 Q Very good. 10 training and your experience, why is that so critical? 11 Have you had a chance to review that report, 11 A From what I •ve experienced, the hospital has a 12 Mr. Taylor? 12 hard time sanetimes picturing a car accident scene or 13 A Yes, I did. I do not recall this particular 13 what's going on with the scene from how we see it. And 14 incident, so everything I will be referencing will be 14 so writing things as accurately as possible helps paint 15 from this report. 15 a picture for the hospital and the physicians and 16 Q That was going to be my next question. 16 everybody associated with patient care after the 17 sometimes you do, but irore often than not somebody as a 17 incident, to see it through our eyes essentially. 18 first responder doesn't always have specific 18 Q Okay. So is taking a good or accurate 19 recollection. 19 report -- is that part of the training you receive to be 20 so nothing in reviewing this jogs your l!lel!K)ry 20 an 00 paramedic? 21 aoout this incident? 21 A Yes, sir. 22 A No, sir. 22 Q Very good. 23 Q okay. So I understand you'11 be testifying 23 so in this case, now that you've reviewed your 24 essentially from what you wrote in your report. Right? 24 report -- we've talked aoout the date: SeptentJer 11th, 25 A That's correct. 25 2018.
