HELP US RECORD IT: Valor vs. Treachery on the Senate Floor

93. Updates take time to implement but

I assume it’s going to take time. The information regarding the location of the needed police or paramedic aid is necessary and many times an unrelated person will call a theft or a crime or a needed emergency response and that person may be the one the police or paramedics need to initially talk to. But not always. The person calling 911 could be someone who received a call from the person needing the assistance who may be in another state or part of town.

This happened to me. My grandmother called me to say she thought she may have just had a stroke. I was too far to get to her quickly so I called 911 and her son who lived just around the block. He met the paramedics when they arrived. As it turned out my grandmother was fine when the hospital doctor checked her out. Needless to say my location wasn’t important at all.
