Grant Jordan was driving to a friend’s house on Aug. 31 when he started feeling tightness in his chest. He immediately returned home and asked his wife, Naomi, to take him to the hospital, a five-minute drive away.
“And they said, ‘Well, we’re closed. So if you want, I can call 911 for you,'” Jordan, 49, said in a recent interview from his home in Piccadilly, N.B., recalling how he had to retreat to the parking lot, pain radiating through his jaw, elbows and ears. “I was just lying there on the sidewalk in the parking lot,” Jordan said. “I was just in a lot of pain, and I wanted it to stop.”AI ‘early warning’ system shows promise in preventing hospital deaths, study saysHe confirmed that two hospital employees in Sussex eventually offered him some nitroglycerine — a drug used to relieve chest pain during a heart attack. But they told him they could lose their jobs for helping someone after the emergency room had closed, he said.
