This is a textbook example of shoddy reporting by the mass media. Reading the story in the local paper and watching TV you would get the impression that Amtrak dumped this man in the middle of the backwoods and left him there, alone. We now know that the train waited for local authoriies to arrive. I also think its unreasonable to expect train personnel to make a medical diagnosis. They are trained to react to emergincies like heart attacks or falls. Had the man been wearing a Medic Alert bracelet this incident might not have happened.
