The paramedic on the tape was reportedly upset that Robert Cole, 43 -- who had called for an ambulance after feeling dizzy — changed his mind on the way to the hospital and decided he didn’t want medical attention.

“He said if I didn’t get [any] treatment, he was going to give it to me,” Cole said at a news conference.

Must be a former SOCCER player...
...most frustrating thing for an athletic trainer is to have to run across the field when a player goes down, screaming bloody murder...and get up and run the other way when you get within 5 feet. I had an assistant trainer when I was at UNCA horsecollar a guy and brought him back down. That was the last time any of those guys dove and got up.
