Boy, 9 left to die by teacher

[Sharon]

A boy of 11 who suffered an asthma attack at school was left dying in a corridor because a teacher was allegedly too busy to call an ambulance.
Doctors believe Sam Linton could have been saved if he had received treatment sooner.
Instead, he was left alone and gasping for breath because, it was claimed, his form tutor, Janet Ford, 46, refused to help him because she was in a meeting.

That's horrible. I've got asthma and I'd had such a serious attack, I would've told the teacher to **** off and try to get help elsewhere if they told me to wait like that. It's complete neglect on her part, she shouldn't be allowed to teach if she's so unaware of the guidelines and completely ignores advice from family members (especially his brother).

This was someone from your school? Sounds terrible. I gather from the past tense in the quote that the teacher has been fired?
