You can't automatically blame the driver or the dispatcher.


You would have to know without a shadow of a doubt that they would
have actually been able to reach him in time to save his life.


As far as you know, he could have still died on the way to the
hospital anyway even if they'd gotten there on time.




perhaps this is why emergency services are not guaranteed. Just like
how the police are not responsible for protecting you, even if they
say "help is on the way".

Seriously, that's from the supreme court.

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the
police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from
harm...



I'm sure that will also apply to the ambulance drivers too.

for the 911 dispatchers? Aren't the responsible for getting ACCURATE
information and keeping the people on the phone until help arrives to
ENSURE it arrives?
