The title Ambulance controversy (Oslo) is assumedly an attempt to translate the idiomatic Norwegian name of this controversy, however, for an English audience without prior knowledge of the case this name doesn't work well. It doesn't describe what the case is about, and that it should. So I propose someone come up with a better name for this article and that it is moved consequently. __

the
Paramedics incident in Oslo 2007 : The evaluations (and consequences) by one (or both)
paramedics at the scene, resulted in sanctions against driver(s). And one of the drivers, received support from courts of justice, so that some of the sanctions were listed — after the incident.
The controversy belongs in the "aftermath"-section, of such an article.
It is totally wrong to translate to "
Ambulance controversy", IMO.
("Ambulanse-saken" is a non-logical name for Norwegian speakers, because there has never been any controversy, in this case, about emergency vehichles.)--

I'm not so sure. As I see it, the case is basically about an ambulance that didn't pick up a man that should have been picked up. Then followed all kinds of questions: Who's fault was it? Was there any racism involved? etc… Since (1) the case is about an ambulance that didn't pick up a man, and (2) the case is constitutionalized as "Ambulansesaken" in Norway, my opinion is that at least the word "ambulance" need to be included. But yeah, "ambulance controversy" is not the best.. If anyone come up with a good suggestion including "ambulance" I will support it. Perhaps something like "Ambulance neglect case"? Doesn't sound too good.. Apart from that, I think the major problem here is not the title, but the article text itself. – Danmichaelo (

No, it is not about an "ambulance that didn't pick up". The ambulance has not been criticised of anything.
Under the heading "The Event", it reads "However, the ambulance paramedic crew decided not to take Farah to the hospital on the grounds that he seemed to be intoxicated and urinated with the urine hitting first the trouser leg of one of the paramedics and then the ambulance car". (confusing parts bolded) The way this is written it reads as if it was Mr. Farah who "seemed to be...urinated". It also reads as if it was Mr. Farah's intention to urinate on the paramedic's trouser leg, rather than on the paramedic himself. Finally, "ambulance car" is redundant; the term "ambulance" is sufficient to convey the type of vehicle it was. I think that the sentence should be changed to "...on the grounds that he seemed to be intoxicated, and because he urinated on one of the paramedics, as well as on the ambulance". Thoughts?
