Lisa Lincoln Units, you're going to be back at the ER, you're going to need it back at the ER, same subjects walked out, went out the ambulance bay doors.
00:08
They're asking for your assistance bringing back.
00:15
Hi, Lucedale.
00:16
Um,
00:17
here's the thing.
00:22
I don't think we have any jurisdiction to do so.
00:27
Unless he's caused damage or done something odd in there, I just never established how they have control of him.
00:35
And it's,
00:37
even according to them, they've pretty much had this man since 90 o'clock this morning,
00:44
yesterday morning.
00:50
Do I need to hear it up there? No.
00:56
That's the thing,
00:57
you and I both saw him.
01:01
I,
01:03
this is one of those where, I mean,
01:05
I'm beginning to wonder if they haven't overstepped.
01:12
That's my question.
01:18
The advice, I'm still on the phone with the ER, they're trying to give me some more information on this guy.
01:27
14, you can go ahead and come on over.
01:31
That way we can both say we haven't seen any change in the subject.
01:35
I mean, last time we dealt with him was, what, six hours ago?
01:42
(Acknowledgment/OK).
01:50
10405, ER just said thank you and they're, I guess they're going to do whatever they need to do.
01:56
I don't know.
02:02
If you would,
02:05
go ahead and log it in.
02:06
I mean,
02:07
because you've got three grown adults sitting there looking at a man that's exhibiting no signs of genuine mental illness, not compared to some of the, well, compared to our last caller age, the model of sanity.
02:24
or I have noted that in the log also I asked them if he is it if he's considered a danger to others or to himself and they said no
02:37
Yeah,
02:38
and that's where we are.
02:40
And the thing is, I didn't see anything with my own eyes.
02:44
I mean, even if he was episodic, you know, we still didn't see a display.
02:48
I mean, we'll stay in the area, but I mean, good Lord.
02:53
Over what,
02:54
18 hours?
02:56
I mean, this guy, yeah, I wouldn't want to say I'd be walking myself home.
03:05
Ten, four.
03:12
I'll be advised earlier they stated that he lived at the estates.
03:21
Okay, where's that?
03:26
I'll have to look that up.
03:33
So it's still ahead in their way?
03:38
I mean age 1025 did, like I said, I just,
03:43
you know, I'm going to stand by what I said earlier.
03:48
Our, our rights or our duties kind of end with whether or not he's a danger or a threat to anyone else.
