Something similar happened to a friend of mine. In San Francisco. I just sort of assumed it was just bad luck. Bad things happen occasionally even in good systems. But maybe that assumption is wrong? Is this a thing? Are ambulances just unreliable?

FWIW, I also live in Toronto and been in an ambulance a fair few times (generally for false alarms that were still worth checking out); I can't recall it ever taking that long for an ambulance to arrive, even reporting less severe symptoms.
