Saviours refusing to save

Via Trinity:

This story is shocking, and is relatively local to me. I already left my comment on the story at Trinity's place and have only a little more to add here.

In short, an ambulance crew decided on arriving at the home of a man suffering a heart attack, that based on the state of his home, he did not deserve to have his life saved, but instead decided to pretend he was already dead when they got there. Unfortunately for the ambulance crew, the phone line to the emergency services operator was still open, and their voices were recorded. It is too late for the man who died, though. He was relying on these people to help him, and they refused.

Those two have reserved places for themselves in Hell with this deed - Christ was very clear on that.

2 things wot people said:

  1. That truly is shocking. I'm surprised it hasn't received wider currency - anything to give the right wing press a stick to beat a public service with.

  2. Holy shit. Does make you wonder how often it's happened without being recorded doesn't it?

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
