- The latest on the case of the Tulsa physician whose wife died of a
- heart attack while her husband tried to call 911 for help is that Dr.
- Homer Hardy, the physician, is suing Southwestern Bell for 35 million
- dollars.
-
- The original story was not that a dial-tone was unavailable,
- but that callers to the Tulsa area 911 system got a busy signal.

- [Moderator's Note: In times of grief, people will do a variety of
- irrational things such as the doctor, but his complaint is with either
- the operators of the 911 service or the people who jammed the system --
- not with SWBT. Suppose a patient calls the doctor and his line happens
- to be busy. Could the patient then sue the telco or the doctor? PAT]
