The mqgical healthcare system of the U.K....you just cant get to the hospital because they have no avalailable ambulances...
What makes this especially newsworthy is that it’s not that unusual. The wait time for an ambulance has been in the range of 45-60 minutes for the past year or more. That’s not for all calls but for so-called category 2 calls like the one from Ann Clark. Category 2 calls include emergencies like “stroke or chest pain.” And the situation got significantly worse in December when the average response time shot up to more than 90 minutes.
