You can find the full audio just below this episode in your podcast feed. So go listen if you haven't already and then come join us for our conversation. All right, here we go. So there's something really unusual about this case. It's that Suzanne's husband is a doctor. And you would imagine that if you're going to have an accident at home and fall down your stairs, this is the best case scenario.
The doctor is already there. So we heard some portions of the 911 call that he made on that morning, Sunday, November 13th, 2016. We want to play some of it because there are a few points that really jumped out at me right away.
Okay, and what's happened?
We got a patient here who's fallen upstairs and I don't have a pulse and she's cold and I don't know what time this happened.
Okay, so she's not breathing? No, she's not breathing. She's not breathing. Okay, so I've got help being sent while we're talking. Is there anybody else there with you?
Oh yes, our whole family's here.
