Possible Deaths Due to Slowness of Caretakers

There are regular misjudgments when emergency patients ask for help from their family doctors, or request an ambulance to be sent. According to a list from the Inspectorate for health care, there are 38 cases in which the patient died possibly due to the inaction or slow care of these services. This very often concerns signs of cardiac arrest which were not properly noticed. People die because resuscitation is done too late.
