How many minutes did she waste driving before that? EMTs are trained to do the same as an ER to save lives. In fact, I have saved lives, so I do know something about it.
From the looks of it, she drove about a mile and a half before she was stopped. They lived just under five miles from the hospital, which is probably why neither of them thought it was a big deal.
At 2 in the morning, the couple and the police officer were probably the only two on the road in the mighty metropolis of Chippewa Falls, which is why he "made" them so quickly.
Tough luck for them, hey?
I thank you for your service. First, foremost, and always. Thank you.
They lived very close to the hospital. It may have been a risky decision for the woman to transport Casey to the ER, but not necessarily a wrong decision.
There is no guarantee that the ambulance could have reached their home any faster than they could reach the Hospital.
The tragic and fatal mistake was stopping for the police officer.
