Two EMTs respond to the scene of a syncopal episode. They evaluate a 50-year-old male patient who passed out and cut his upper lip. The EMTs examine the patient and his vital signs are normal. The EMTs talk the patient out of an expensive ambulance ride and suggest he will save money by driving himself to the urgent care clinic for stitches for his lip rather than waiting all night in the emergency department as a nonemergency patient. The patient signs the EMS refusal form. The patient decides to see his own doctor the next morning but dies at his house from sudden cardiac arrest an hour later. Which of the following statements is true?
 
  A) The EMTs are not negligent because the patient signed the refusal form.
  B) The EMTs are not negligent because the EMTs have no control over the patient's medical condition.
  C) The EMTs are negligent because the patient died.
  D) The EMTs are negligent because there was proximate causation.
