And like, now I'm Stephen the firefighter. And it was like, I'm a firefighter. That's pretty cool.
And the street address that was given, we'll say, for example, that was 313, like 313. And we get there and there is no 313. Right.
And so in this particular case, like, that didn't happen. And so we just start to go knock on doors and look. And so, like, that went on. We knocked on a bunch of doors and, like, nobody ever came out. And so the other thing that dispatch will try to do is they'll try to call the person back repeatedly. You know, nobody answered on the call back. And so...
You know, eventually we have like finite resources. So the next calls are coming in and like we have to move on.
She was right around the corner from the, um, from the door that I had looked at. And I just thought to myself, like, I was like six feet from her. And like, when I got there, she was probably, you know, we could still have saved her. And that was actually somebody that I had reversed an overdose on in the past. I hadn't stayed like in like a, in real touch, but like she worked in the community.
So I would see her sometimes.
I made this simple design on Vistaprint. And I'm not a web designer or a graphic designer, so it looks terrible. But basically it was like, this is the Massachusetts line, here's the number, this is what we do. And so I used my credit card and bought like 5,000 of those.
So they had the back doors of the ambulance open, and I stepped up into the back to talk to them. And it dawned on me again, like, oh, she was alone. So I said something along the lines of, like, you know, whoever was here with you called and left. You need to tell them never to do that again. They need to stay with you until we get here. And then she said... Oh my god, he thought.
When he got back to the station, that's when he started texting Jesse. And that's when it all kind of came out of him. Like, I couldn't believe it. Like, we sobbed on the phone together. I was in my office. Like, there was this, like, conference room thing that I was in. And I had the door closed when I was talking to her. And we're just in there, like, crying with her.
And, you know, it was just, it was like, wow.
