WASHINGTON (AP) – A man died of a stab wound that he could have survived if he hadn’t waited 18 minutes for an ambulance, the outgoing medical director of the District of Columbia’s fire department said in a scathing resignation letter that questioned Mayor Muriel Bowser’s efforts to reform the long-troubled agency.
“People are dying needlessly because we are moving too slow,” Dr. Jullette Saussy said in the letter, which she shared with The Associated Press on Tuesday.
