"Milwaukee EMS Crew's Failure to Respond Leads to Tragic Death"

A private ambulance crew from Curtis Ambulance service did not get out of their truck to look for a woman who had fallen and hit her head near a bus stop in subzero temperatures, leading to her death from hypothermia. The crew members faced no discipline, with their leaders defending their actions and insisting that the EMS system worked as designed. Milwaukee Fire Department officials expressed frustration and the head of the city's Ambulance Service Board criticized the crew's lack of effort, while also expressing disappointment in the ambulance company's response. The incident has sparked discussions about the need for protocol changes in emergency response to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
