I'm siding with the EMT workers here. If they are on their break, which they are legally entitled to, then I don't see any problem with them directing people to phone 911 instead. It sucks that in their profession, it cost someone their life, but technically it's no different then a walmart worker directing a customer to ask another worker for help if that worker is walking by with lunch in his hand on the way to the break room.
