#3Something 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?

#4I'm really sorry about your dad.
I bet he's proud of you for writing and sharing this to help others.

#5>my dad is dead, because his family members were too naive to know that the thing they were instructed to do by the state was a false thing.
We're told a lot of things by "officials" not because it's correct, but because it holds the least legal liability for official parties involved, especially anything involving healthcare. These officials also sometimes include doctors, who work to protect themselves and the system first, and then patients.

I’d assume it’s there’s X ambulances and Y calls and occasionally Y>X.
The bigger issue is the dispatcher not being aware of overloaded status nor conveying that information to the caller.

I don't have this one in my memory but... high schoolers? I'm not going to look that up.

Would be interesting to see everyone who jumped in here yesterday [1] to comment on this one as well.
