Halifax woman waits nearly 3 hours for ambulance after rock climbing fall
In a statement to Global News, the facility manager with Seven Bays said staff were surprised by such a long wait for Klinger.“Obviously, this speaks to the overwhelming pressure on our first responders,” Shahin Mohammadi said. “We were surprised at the exceptionally long response time that day and hope that many of these recent reports help to initiate some action to remedy the issue.”
“Those situations are very hard on our paramedics because our paramedics want to get there quickly,” said Kevin McMullen. “They want to do the job that they’re trained to do and unfortunately when you have a delay like that, that plays on their mindset.” Meantime, the Executive Director of Emergency Health Services reports that a review takes place when a case is like Klinger’s.
