There is no official Federal or State standard for response times in the United States. Response time standards frequently do exist in the form of contractual obligations between communities and EMS provider organizations, however. As a result, there is typically considerable variation between standards in one community and another. New York City, for example, mandates a 10 minute response time on emergency calls, while some communities in California have moved response time standards to 12–15 minutes. It is generally accepted within the field that an 'ideal' response time for emergency calls would be within eight minutes, ninety-percent of the time, but this objective is rarely achieved, and current research results question the validity of that standard.
So a 91 year old had a cardiac arrest, and in traffic the EMS response time was still within a time frame considered "ideal". Hillary (or her handlers) must be getting very worried. (Just as well, I didn't think Christie was nominateable as a Republican for president in 2016.)
It doesn’t matter. Just intentionally causing traffic delays for citizens is an act of despotism that should carry a mandatory death penalty.
7 minutes...damn that’s quick...nothing close to that here where I live...
I would love to see the EKG tape or download before I make a decision.
If her heart stopped and the EMTs were in charge they had all he necessary tools to handle the problem.
If the heart stopped in Hospital, would arrival time been a factor.
Sometimes with the best doctors and care sometimes we do not get the results we want. I and others have been on both sides.
My sympathy to the woman’s family.
May God Bless the Victim and her family!
