Jerrold Winiecki, 56, was lifted into an ambulance for the 25-minute ride to a hospital in a Minneapolis suburb, after paramedics were unable to keep his airway fully open because of infection.
Minutes later, the struggling-to-breathe Winiecki noticed the ambulance stopping at a familiar location enroute — a Subway sandwich shop near his home, thus increasing his distress.
The stop was brief; Winiecki later recovered; and doctors said the ambulance ride was not life-threatening.
The ambulance company said proper protocols were met, in that the driver did not stop for food but to use a restroom because of diarrhea.
