They are also allowed to place tubes in a patient's trachea and esophagus and to asperate stomachs in cases of overdoses. Dr. Newman stated that Paramedics doing what they are trained to do in the field, often do a better job than the average physician. Councilman Bennett questioned the procedures followed when the Paramedic arrives on the scene.
