Doesn't say what you're claiming. Says the baby was delivered and when the EMTs arrived, 10 hours later, the baby was unconscious and non-responsive.

No where does it say she delivered a stillborn or unconscious baby. The links posted on this thread have the story.

The Point being - she waited 10 hours for help, with a dying baby, who might have been saved if the EMT's could have reached her 1, 2, 4, 6 HOURS before they actually arrived. We can agree with that, can't we? We can also agree the baby was NOT a stillborn.

You're very own link proves you wrong, the baby was not born unconscious;

Initially, dispatchers assigned the call a low priority because the expectant mother hadn't reported that either she or the baby were in distress
An unconscious baby, right after birth, would be deemed in "distress".

Well now I know you must not have learned to read braille well enough, either that or
you need your eyes checked... the article states EXACTLY what I quoted.

The baby was stillborn? NO.

The baby was born unconscious? No, not according to this on your link;

According to your link, when the EMT got the call the baby was unconscious, they were at the hotel in 12 minutes, which means the baby was not in any distress many hours BEFORE they got that last call. So from birth to approx 9 hours 45 minutes later, the baby was well.

There is no way to know if the baby was born unconscious from what we have here.

We certainly know the baby wasn't stillborn, which is what meson claimed, which started all this back and forth.

The point is that 4 died that might have been saved, if not for the inability of emergency vehicles and personnel to get through.

I hope on that we can agree.

You know, the only thing we really learned from this episode is that the leadership of one New York City employee union is composed of really defective people who caused great damage to the people who pay their wages.

That unions generally are designed to raise wages above market value and thereby depress employment and hurt the rest of us via higher prices is not pertinent to the despicable story from NY.

Who is going to "pay" for the known 4 murders that took place in this?

Why do I think that this investigation will be a up and will say that it's nobody's fault other than BS?
