This was posed to me by one of my geriatric clients, concerning protests such as the Lake Shore Drive protest in Chicago. As you probably know, protesters held up the entire rush hour, and traffic was completely gridlocked for miles.

What if your mother-father-grandmother-grandfather-whomever lived in an apartment on Lake Shore Drive, and during this protest, had a heart attack or a stroke? One that is normally treatable with proper immediate care. No ambulance can get through; the traffic is completely gridlocked. Let's pretend Lake Shore Drive isn't ritzy, and doesn't have any helipads.

If that person dies, is it the fault of the protesters, on some level?
