061107 - Mother explained the paramedics took a long time to arrive.  They

061118 -  ..
061119 - Some time later, a nurse said Kathleen was in a back room.  A doctor
061120 - came out late and said they could try to revive Kath, but her

061134 - such rapid deterioriation.

061137 - Mother has called to get records showing the timing of these events by
061138 - the paramedics, but the authorities refuse to release the information
061139 - without a power of attorney.  Evidently Patti can request this
