The other lesson here..
(I mean apart from the lenient sentencing) Is that it's true what I learned on the First Aid course that work sent me on. IE unconscious people can still hear, so treat them as though they're still awake. Thanks for proving that, am angry and sorry it's at such cost..

@ Beer Elf...
...based on many unconscious patients I have responded to, I don't think that many unconscious patients can actually hear what's going on. I remember one patient who had a cardiac arrest and after defibrillation and various drugs, woke up on the way to hospital. Not only did he not 'hear' anything that had happened, he later put in a complaint against my partner for "the excessively bumpy ride to hospital".
Ungrateful fucker.
