Arthur works as an attendant for the Big City Bambinos professional basketball team. Arthur was given explicit directions not to allow anyone onto the court, regardless of the situation. The Bambinos team doctor is absent due to illness, and the other usual medical personnel (both teams’ trainers) are unavailable as they have just gone to the locker room to treat two injured players; suddenly, a third player passes out. The player is unconscious, and the game comes to a sudden halt. Three fans – a primary care physician, a registered nurse, and an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) rush down to the scene, and Arthur – recognizing that these three persons are there to take care of the player – lets them onto the court while still keeping onlookers and others without medical training from proceeding onto the court.  It turns out the player had fainted from an unknown heart problem and needed emergency aid. The three medical specialists revived the player, and he was transported to a hospital for tests, treatment, and a full recovery. The Bambinos, though, decide to fire Arthur for allowing people onto the court. Is the firing justified?
