A paramedic who refused to help a dying homeless woman later told his bosses "go f*** yourselves".
Nicholas Stock, 41, was struck off for refusing to help the woman, who died from heart failure.
A scathing ruling said he had shown "bias, a lack of care, a lack of humility, a lack of compassion and an alarming degree of callousness".
Stock, a senior paramedic with South Western Ambulance Service Trust (SWAST), was sent to a church car park in Chippenham, Wiltshire, after the woman told 999 operators she had overdosed.
But, instead of helping her, the medic peered through the window before calling police and driving off.
The unnamed woman subsequently died from heart failure before officers arrived.
Remorseless Stock was struck off as a paramedic after disciplinary panel condemned him for "manifestly serious misconduct".
The Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) heard the woman – known as Patient A – was found lying down across her car's rear seats.
Because she was surrounded by bags of her possessions, the only way to gain access was through the boot.
The hearing was told that Stock deliberately chose not to treat his patient – later telling bosses investigating the May 2018 incident: "I wasn't going to get into the car."
