Two city medical workers, waiting in line, refused to provide it; the woman eventually died. That has been the accepted version of what happened on Dec. 9, an event that has brought condemnation from the pregnant woman’s mother and the mayor, an investigation by the district attorney’s office and a suspension without pay for the two city workers. That suspension ends Thursday, when the two workers, Jason Green and Melisa Jackson, are to be reinstated.
