> Medic doesn't have defibrillator in equipment bag

In Germany defibrillators are openly available in most public buildings and I think any industrial setting has to have them easily accessible too. They're as idiot proof as it gets: you push a big button and follow the instructions (automated voice commands, but I think there is also a text display as backup).

I don't know what the laws are like in Poland but all I'm saying is that this scenario you propose could easily be solved with basic health and safety regulations.

You're also ignoring that they could have called the medic while also moving him in the direction of the medical facility, assuming the movement didn't contribute to his death. Not to mention that a trained emergency medic should know what equipment to bring based on reported symptoms.
