FDNY EMT Charged for Forgery, Abandonment

Philip Messing
03/15/2009

A FDNY emergency medical technician was busted yesterday for forging a nurse's signature because he didn't want to stick around a Bronx hospital after dropping off a 5-year-old boy, authorities say.

Paul Casson, 28, rushed the boy, injured in a car accident, to Lincoln Hospital in December, according to the city Department of Investigation.

Sources said the nurse told him she would be right with him, but the medic became impatient and allegedly forged her signature on a "patient-care report" so he could bail.

Casson was suspended without pay.
