Ambulance Service in Van Buren County, Arkansas
Anyway, I called for the ambulance that never did come. They said they would arrive in about 15 minutes, but haven't been there till yet. My father-in-law didn't die that time as close as he came. We eventually (about 25 minutes later) managed to load him in my brother-in-laws car and got him to the hospital on our own. He died about two years later in 1989. All this happened before there was a 911 service in the county, and we have moved in the meantime. I don't know how the ambulance service is up there now that they do have the 911 service, and I hope I never have to find out Unless I miss my guess it won't be much better now than it was back then and is still very undependable, and that it is very unreliable like most other things in the county.

Post a CommentWhat a shame that people have such unreliable service there.
Sorry to read of this bad experience, hope for those that still live in that area things have improved.
Sorry it left such a bad memory. These days in the small towns and rural areas of Texas our first responders are worked to death and it is all volunteer work. They are first to arrive and are trained to help medically somewhat too. They help the ambulance services to find us and are so appreciated. They work through fire departments and are so appreciated.
Very scary. I am glad he was okay!
yep I can only imagine the service on rural roads, I live in the city and the service is not up to par either
wonderful article, good reporting, and very bad news. :(
sorry that happened, that's a shame.
The things we take for granted.
Sorry to hear that happened.
