NY Times
City to Deploy Ambulances to Save Organs
By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS
Published: December 1, 2010

Quote:
For five months starting Wednesday, the city will deploy a specially trained team
that will monitor 911 calls for people who may be in danger of dying, like those having a heart attack.

If efforts to resuscitate the patient fail, the team will quickly move in and try to save the kidneys;
normally, patients who die outside hospitals cannot be donors because
if too much time passes after the heart stops beating, the organs are unusable.
So if you are in NY City, don't call 911 for help until after June 1, 2011
