Thanks so much, Mike. I needed to hear that.
I honestly could not believe the response time. Horrible! Then on top of that, they send ONE police officer!? NO ambulance(s)?! I was actually ashamed for a moment that this is the general field that I'm going into.
I don't really know what took the ambulance so long, but when the first cop finally got there & he called for an ambulance 10 minutes later, the ambulance hadn't even been dispatched, yet. Though, I personally asked for an ambulance (so did my sister & boyfriend & other neighbours, I'm sure) when the accident was first reported.
I'm sure it's similar everywhere, but police around here really are "above the law" and it goes straight to their heads.
The mayor was elected this year and he has yet to do wonderful things as our mayor, but he was higher in the gov't (on a federal level, I think) before this and was very good at what he did. So hopefully he'll fix this problem right up.
