She’s still gonna regret it
At the end of the day its all about cost cutting. The plan is to replace a large number ambulances where staff work in pairs with rapid response cars where paramedics work alone. Their terms of employment state that when they are faced with a violent incident, they have to wait for back up, ie in this situation, she had to wait for an ambulance to be called out. Given the rise in violent incidents it seems mindless to even contemplate a move towards rapid response when on occasions like this, their presence is useless. If an ambulance had been sent in the first place, the boy may have been saved. But thats not her fault.
