Show Notes
Seattles 911 system faces criticism for longer ambulance waits due to a new approach involving nurses in Texas and Uber rides. A tragic case of a 71-year-old woman, Pamela Hogan, who died after an over 10-hour wait for help, highlights the risks. The city lacks safety checks and wait-time tracking for these exempt ambulance responses, with over 4,600 cases last year. Former Seattle leaders admit mistakes, and officials push for a review to improve patient protection.
