For the second time in two weeks residents of DeKalb County Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, emergency 911 calls for paramedics have taken over 20 minutes for help to arrive. One patient, a 16 year old with a traumatic head injury waited 22 minute for an ambulance. A second patient, 90 years old with heart problems waited 28 minutes for help. Paramedics arrived…but was the first response fire-medic engine which got there (you know, the one that should be there in under 4 minutes). An ambulance never showed and her son drove her to the hospital.
