![]() Two other nurses came upon the incident, identified themselves and tried to help because of security’s haphazard attempts and were also turned away. I walked away feeling terrible for the man on the ground and his family. I pleaded to be allowed to help and I was told my help wasn’t needed because an ambulance was already called. I identified myself as an EMT and registered nurse and attempted to join in the rescue but I was blocked by Matthew and several other security officers who then told me “This ain’t a show, move along.” I looked past at the rescue pressions were inadequate depth and the AED still wasn’t on. The staff bumbled about in an attempt to perform CPR, failed to ventilate the man, and took what felt like an eternity to apply the AED. He was quickly surrounded by security staff, including a man staff later pointed out was the director of security. This afternoon, while on the casino floor, a gentleman went into cardiac arrest. I’m a deeply disturbed following my stay at Tropicana.
