ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A
veteran who collapsed in an Albuquerque Veteran Affairs hospital
cafeteria, 500 yards from the emergency room, died after waiting 30
minutes for an ambulance, officials confirmed Thursday.
Officials
at the hospital said took a half an hour for the ambulance to be
dispatched and take the man from one building to the other, which is
about a five minute walk.
