Under no circumstances is what this woman acceptable by any stretch of the imagination. Cadaver parts for dog training? And when did she become qualified to determine at the scene of an accident if a limb was too badly damaged to be reattached? That's not what paramedics do. My question to her employer is "How did this person pass your psychological exam?" If even one brain cell of her perverse mind told her this was a good thing to do, she needs some serious mental health treatment. I’ve been a firefighter/paramedic for almost 30 years.

I feel kind of bad for her. She's lost her job, her name has been dragged through the mud, and now she's facing a criminal charge. Yes, I think that she used bad judgment, and probably understood that she was skirting around the edges of what was the proper way to obtain the foot. I just have a hard time seeing why, with all of the people who get killed in accidents, it is hard to come by human parts to use for cadaver dog training. Can't they appeal to people who have limbs amputated because of diabetes, for instance? A program could be set up to compensate the people who lose the limbs, paid for by whatever foundation handles training the dogs. Either way, she seems like a good person on the whole, who screwed up and made a mistake that she is now paying too harshly for. And then we look at Jim Exline, who gets off easy after being a CORRUPT PUBLIC OFFICIAL. Something is not right, here. Wow. I feel kind of bad for her.
