Hjelpe meg, blir bare verre og verre jo lengre man leser.

Trist sak.

Punkt 1: Når du skal skrive et hovedinnlegg, så lær deg å bruk to linjer og skriv hva sakens faktisk handler om og hva du faktisk reagerer på. Deretter: Denne saken er hverken ille eller enestående, dessuten er det veldig lite opplyst, mest fra den ene siden, og med påstander som ambulansepersonellet ikke får tilbakevise. Ikke en tåre i øyekroken min iallfall...

Det er ikke forferdelig, det er bare mangel på initiativ fra begge parter.

Unnskyld, men hva da?

Nei, vi får ikke se hva 911 har å si om saken, men vi får vite dette:

Now Pittsburgh officials have ordered an investigation and reforms of the city's emergency services system as Mitchell's case highlighted key shortcomings:

• Details of Mitchell's calls weren't passed on from one 911 operator to another as shifts changed, so each call was treated as a new incident.

• Twice, ambulances were as close as a quarter-mile from Mitchell's home but drivers said deep snow prevented the vehicles from crossing a small bridge over railroad tracks to reach him. Mitchell was told each time he'd have to walk through the snow to the ambulances; in neither case did paramedics walk to get him.

• Once, an ambulance made it across the bridge and was at the opposite end of the block on the narrow street where the couple lived — a little more than a football field's length. Again, paramedics didn't try to walk.

"We failed this person," said Michael Huss, the city's public safety director.
