Oh, copy that. 1801 (number withheld) Road, an 81-year-old female has been sleeping all day. Elderly caller is being difficult to the call-paker and not answering any other questions? Yeah, we'll take that one. Send to the county to the class four. Glad of that. Second one. That's a second. Well, one's located. We're ready to make time. Thank you. We got a second phone call from, looks like, a son stating that his father, who was originally complaining, called him saying he thought his wife was dying. I just think that the father does have Parkinson's and can get confused from time to time. Now, we do have a patient on the phone as well, saying she's very tired and does not feel like getting up off the couch. Also, now stating that she's refusing EMS and that there is no need for EMS. This is from the patient themselves. Instead, her husband also suffers from dementia. So you hear a call. All right. If the patient's refusing EMS, you can put this back on the class 4. Copy that. I'll put you on class 4 recall. All right.
