I won't call clickbait on this as it is a personal site and the headline is accurate. I saw another article recently with the same issues.

He is dead from a heart attack. If dispatch, EMS, hospitals, etc. didn't exist doesn't mean he would be alive. They didn't kill him, they failed to save him.

The other article I saw was how the hospital "killed" a drowning victim. Water was never mentioned.

There are many failures in our systems. There will always be exceptions to rules. It is a heart-breaking story but at the same time it is impressive. Maybe the system failed on this call but the fact that their is a system with this many resources is amazing. Hit 3 digits on the phone and LEO, EMS, Fire are all alerted 24/7 us pretty impressive to me.

> I won't call clickbait on this

But you are going to imply it by bringing it up at all.

> They didn't kill him, they failed to save him.

The post does not say otherwise.

Please give this, of all topics, the respect it deserves, respond to the article as it is actually written, and don't use this, of all things, as an opportunity to get on your high horse about some other article you have problems with.
