Maisha Morales recounted her father's agonizing wait for an ambulance, which took nearly an hour, questioning why it was delayed just before his death.
During the hearing, it was revealed that FDNY ambulance response times to life-threatening emergencies have risen to an alarming average of 7 minutes and 23 seconds this fiscal year.
Only 20% of cardiac-arrest patients were successfully revived by city firefighters and medics in the last fiscal year, indicating a worrying trend in emergency response.
Morales expressed that the EMTs appeared to have 'no sense of urgency,' reflecting a disturbing reality in emergency medical services amidst rising response times.
