An emergency medical technician, who is currently employed in the Piedmont-Triad, is speaking out after experiencing something he's "never seen before" on New Year's Eve in Greensboro.The EMT, who wishes to remain anonymous, questions why the city of Greensboro allowed the event to take place, knowing what was learned during preplanning duties. Editor's Note: The EMT will be identified as 'John' from this point forward.John tells WXII 12 News that he was contracted by Paradocs, a medical services company that assists with large-scale events, to work inside the coliseum. On New Year's Eve, Bassnectar performed and brought in more than 22,300 fans. It marked the third-largest event in venue history. John says a large event like such came with a large number of overdoses."We had patients all night, but at 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, was when it just broke loose. That's when we had the most patients," said John. "It was really mass-controlled chaos."John admits Paradocs was briefed on the type of crowds that usually follow Bassnectar, but he doesn't think the city of Greensboro was prepared. John says he even tried to confront police that night."I asked the police: 'Why weren't they arresting people?,' said John. "It was obvious that when you went into the auditorium, you smelled marijuana and you can see people snorting things and so forth. They basically threw it off as: 'If we arrest one, we would have to arrest them all and it's just not enough of us compared to them.'"The city of Greensboro, the city's mayor, and Greensboro police have not agreed to do on-camera interviews with WXII 12 News, after being asked multiple times. Paradocs have not responded to repeated requests.John says out of the 200 patients in the triage rooms that evening, 98% were overdose patients. "These guys were on hallucinogens, mushrooms, coke, 'Molly,' LSD, ecstasy and then marijuana on top of it," said John. "So, it's not something you can give a medication and bring them out of it like opioids." John admits there was a decent-sized treatment room in the coliseum. Once a patient was admitted, he said, they were restrained, and given IV fluids and medication. The typical stay for one person, who may have overdosed, was about three hours. Many Greensboro police officers who worked the event say they wonder why the city allowed the event to take place. John is concerned, too."As a citizen here in the Triad, the community of Greensboro should do a lot more, or be a lot better, at vetting people who are coming to the coliseum," said John. Bassnectar has not provided a statement. John says many people attending the New Year's Eve concert thanked him for being there and for providing his services.
