Highly suggest you contact Chief Cain to find out what really happened that resulted in a delayed response ! He can then add the findings to his collection to improve things.


If you were to go back a few posts you would learn the following:
1 there was not a 30 minute response time.
2 initially CPR/AED trained individuals reacted to the event
3 TVPSD first responders (EMTs) arrived within their 6 minute average
4 the standard process is for TVPSD to provide immediate care, drugs, stabilizing treatment
5 after the patient is stable & able to be transported, an ambulance is used to transport the patient to the hospital
6 the initial civilian response, and immediate response by TVPSD, are crucial to successful recovery
7 step 6 occurred as perfectly as it could have been
8 the patient appears to be doing well, as a result of step 6
9 the OP didn't have accurate information at all
