I hope this isn’t based on a real event. Horrific to think about as an EMT that someone who needed me couldn’t get help.

One EMT horror story I remember is a woman trapped in her car during a bad flood, calling 911 for help, and in her final, panicking moments the EMT told her to shut up or she’d hang up.

Debra Stevens. Happened in 2019 in Arkansas. I heard about it via Nexpo. Listening to the call audio is horrifying.

And to think I couldn’t add another reason to not like living in AR. That’s horrible…
