A no-trespassing sign is nailed to a tree adjacent to the high ropes course at Greenway Farm in Hixson.Two Hamilton County emergency responders are under investigation into whether they delivered the wrong dosage of medication to a man who was rescued after he was found hanging by his ankle on a challenge course, officials said.
County paramedic Timothy Waldo and EMT Jamie Jackson were put on administrative leave without pay after an internal investigation began Thursday, said Don Allen, administrator of human services for Hamilton County.
That was the same day the two rescued 57-year-old Melvin Davis, who was dangling from a rope on a challenges course at Greenway Farms in Hixson. The course has both ropes and structure challenges.
Davis, who told the hiker who found him that he had been hanging by his ankle for two days, is still in critical condition at Erlanger hospital.
Allen would not say what medication was administered or who complained about the medical care of Davis. Results of the investigation will be released this morning, he said.
