    First aid is just that. The first step to proper aid. Surely if he’s unconscious and an ambulance is deemed appropriate, he needs medical attention, even if he comes to. Cancelling an emergency ambulance may be appropriate, but no medical care may not be.

      And does it say he was denied further medical attention after cancelling the ambulance?

        No, not that I saw. Nor does it say it was provided.
