The 21-year-old Sarah Gould called for an ambulance because she was bleeding heavily but there was no crew available. From the point where she was, she could see the ambulance station but had to wait for 34 minutes. When she arrived in the hospital a scan confirmed that the baby already had died. The woman blames the ambulance centre for the death of her unborn baby. Normally, in this kind of situations the ambulance centre respond within 20 minutes and with a red code in 8 minutes. A doctor arrived in 15 minutes but the ambulance took too long. The husband regrets that he didn’t drove Sarah to the hospital because this would take him only 20 minutes.

My opinion:
I think it is terrible what this couple had to go through. It is understandable that they blame the ambulance centre for taking so long to get there. Maybe the baby would have survived in the hospital. But it is dismal that the husband is blaming himself for not driving his wife to the hospital. I can understand that he is responding like this but it is useless because it isn’t his fault. It doesn’t change the situation and the fact that the ambulance was too late. In this situation you can’t do a thing, you are depending on ambulances and doctors. I can imagine that they never trust an ambulance again. It is frustrating and very sad that this woman maybe lost her child because there wasn’t an ambulance.
