Madan Shirvel:
Attendant of Dial 1298 Ambulance

____________________________________________
He took 6 traumatized Foreigners from Taj Hotel to Azad Maidan
Police refused to hold them up as they said they have no instruction to help the foreigners, as they can help to Indians only.
Estimate the time of an ambulance that could have been saved in this dialogue.

Ajay Pandey:
Ambulance driver of Child Foundation, Private NGO

_________________________________________
He had an injured patient in his ambulance. He drove to GT hospital. He beg from gate to gate to get patient admitted. But hospital refused to admit and said that get your patient back. No one was there to say that “we are not admitting him because there are terrorists inside the hospital, Please admit him at other hospital.” He wasted his critical time convincing many officials there.

A Briton who was shot at Leopold was saved only because he was rushed to a private hospital instead of State run Hospital.
