They are bitching (understandably) about the fact that the cops prevented the ambos going to help him for about 50 minutes, while he lay dying (or the ambos refused to go in, the buck is merrily passing)
But what they should really be bitching about (and what gravely concerns me) is that the 111 service repeatedly lied to them
His wife repeatedly phoned asking where the ambulence was. In fact, it was parked up around the corner. For half an hour. But instead of saying "Sorry it's not coming, it's going to be quite a while", they were (reportedly) repeatedly told "it will be there any minute". So, they waited.
If they had been told the truth , they could have bundled him into a car and driven him to hospital themselves, saving about 40 minutes. Whether that 40 minutes would have made the difference between living and dying I do not know (and probably no one ever will). But it certainly must have given him a better chance.
I'd be bitching too.
Moral: If you're ever in that situation, don 't rely on either police or ambos. Get yourslef, or get whoever it is , to hospital yourself as fast as possible.
Ironically, he;'d have been a lot better off if the police had sent a taxi!.
Sweet, so next time me and my partner bundle a 8/10ths dead woman in our car and drive her to the hospital, him keeping her alive on the way. This because we just couldn't wait for an ambulance, not because they were taking to long, but because we guininely believed she would be dead other wise. Who knows I wonder if one day she will thank us? I think not.
IXION you are a COCK and all you other Police haters please think twice before calling us,if we provide such a bad service.
