"The State University of New York said it did not shut down ambulance service at Long Island College Hospital on Wednesday night and throughout Thursday — it just gave it a break. The university, which operates the hospital and has been trying to shut it down since February, is forbidden by a court order from stopping ambulance service to the 155-year-old Cobble Hill institution, but on Wednesday night it did just that. A spokesman for the state said that it was forced to turn away emergency vehicles because of a lack of available doctors but will restore service today "as long as the facility is adequately staffed.""
