Trying to find my way to the Buffalo Board of Education’s special meeting in City Hall last Friday morning (when I inquired Wednesday, no meeting room had been selected), I tagged along after Ferry member Sharon Belton-Cottman. Noticing me in the elevator, she asked, “Are you a reporter?” and added, “Well, you’re going to get an earful today!”

It turns out that a person having a heart attack is usually safer to be in an ambulance headed to a hospital than to already be a patient in a hospital, according to a study by University of North Carolina researchers. It takes longer, on average, for non-ER hospital staff to comply with hospital protocols in ordering and evaluating tests (nearly three hours, according to the study) than it does for ER (and ambulance) staff, who treat every case of cardiac symptoms as life-threatening.
