We're at (number withheld) Low Street and they're stating they did not request an ambulance.

00:08

Our caller is the daughter of the patient, the 75-year-old female, stating that the aunt is on scene and the aunt was not willing to call EMS.

00:25

No, we're clear.

00:32

Central 2173.

00:35

2173.

00:38

Yeah, we might have to call somebody back because she insinuated she did not and nobody else called for an ambulance.

00:49

Clear and my correction, it was her son that called.

00:55

I can give him a call.

00:59

We're clear.

01:00

Stand by.

01:06

Would you like me to have him call the residence?

01:10

That'd be great. Yep, we'll expect the call.

01:13

Perfect. 1239.

01:19

Clear, just clearing.

01:22

Okay.

01:27

Go ahead, Central.

01:29

This is 73.

01:31

Just got off the phone with (name withheld).

01:35

We have a little bit of confusion here.

01:37

So patient does have dementia, and aunt is not with her.

01:42

But patient called the aunt, who then called the son.

01:48

(name withheld) was our caller.

01:49

I can give you his TX if you'd like to speak with him.
